Salsa & Bachata
Some movement stories begin quietly.
Others begin the moment the beat drops.
Bachata and Salsa are stories told through rhythm, connection, and joy—where every step is a conversation and every turn builds confidence. At UMAC, these classes are about more than learning patterns. They’re about learning to feel the music, trust your body, and move with intention.
Taught by our incredible instructor Galeno Navarro, Bachata and Salsa are offered at both Beginner and Intermediate levels, welcoming dancers exactly where they are. Whether you’re brand new to Latin dance or ready to refine your technique, Galeno creates an inclusive, energetic space where growth feels exciting—not intimidating.
-
Beginner classes focus on foundations, musicality, and building confidence
-
Intermediate classes deepen technique, connection, and expressive movement
These classes are social, empowering, and rooted in culture—perfect for anyone looking to move, connect, and rediscover joy through dance.
No partner required.
No perfection expected.
Just your willingness to step into the story.
