3 weeks – Tuesday 25th Nov, 2nd & 9th December- 7.25pm – 8.20pm – £5 per class
Suitable for total beginners and improver level – will be something for everyone.
Bachata fusion is a mix of bachata moderna, sensual and traditional (dominican). Bachata music is often played at latin socials so it’s good to learn a few steps/ moves. Anyone can come along, no experience necessary.
Remember there are NO Latin Quarter classes @ The Deaf Hub next Tuesday, 18th Nov, classes running as normal on 25th Nov onwards.
We will have a few Bachata Fusion classes in the 7.25pm class slot starting on 25th Nov up until Christmas, suitable for total beginners or for those with some experience too. Bachata is a main staple at SBK socials, so good to learn the basic steps and a few moves. Anyone welcome. Classes are £5 each.
Big Thanks to everyone who came along to Latin Quarter @ The Clubee last friday, with a special thank you to all that came from afar, to the club staff and those who came in retro gear.
We raised £373 after outgoings, for Azul Wasi, home for children near Oropesa, Peru. Thank you to Ursa & Weronika for doing the door and to Tania for all her help with class & room set up/down. Some pictures & videos to follow soon.
