Bachata Class (3 Levels) + Social
About Bachata Lab
Bachata Lab is a weekly Bachata class and practice social in San Francisco, held every Friday at the Smuin Center for Dance in Potrero Hill. We teach three levels at the same time, beginner, intermediate and advanced, so you can join whether it is your first night or your hundredth. The focus is Bachata Moderna and Bachata Sensual, and we bring in visiting artists for workshops from time to time.
How the night runs
8:00 PM: doors open, followed by a warm-up in footwork and body movement that everyone does together
8:30 to 9:30 PM: the room splits into three classes for partnerwork
9:30 PM to 1:00 AM: the floor opens for a supervised practice social
Partners rotate every 90 seconds or so, so you do not need to bring one. Most people come alone and dance with a dozen different people in the hour.
