If you are a Salsa or Bachata fan, come to Rio Dance Studio and join our Street Latin Dance Classes

Street Latin, as its name suggests, is not so “Strictly Ballroom” and instead offers a less formal approach to latin dancing. Thanks to movies like Dirty Dancing and popular latin songs hitting our pop radio stations, Street Latin dancing found its place in the Melbourne dance scene in the 1990’s and has remained a a permanent fixture. Rio Dance Studio had its finger on the pulse and was one of the first dance schools to offer lessons and examinations in this relaxed style of dance. Today we offer Salsa Dance Classes, Merengue Dance Classes, Bachata Dance Classes, Tango Argentino Dance Classes and Mambo Dance Classes. Rio Dance Studio offers a free trial class so why not contact us today and give it a go!

Salsa Dance Classes:

Our Salsa Dance Classes are very popular. It seems everyone wants to learn to salsa! Cuban music is exciting and full of life with infectious bongo beats that will easily have your feet tapping and hips swaying. Simply put, Salsa is a happy dance and people love dancing it. There’s no one way to dance salsa and many
variations have evolved over the years. Join our Salsa Dance Classes, with or without a partner and discover why it’s one of our most popular dance styles.

Merengue Dance Classes:

If you’re looking for an easy basic rhythm to follow, learning merengue may just be for you! Originating from the Dominican Republic, merengue has an easy to learn foot pattern although the hip isolation may take some instruction. But don’t fear because we are here to teach you! With its Caribbean island vibe, dancing merengue to happy latin beats will put a smile on anyone’s face.

Bachata Dance Classes:

Latin dancing doesn’t get much sexier than Bachata. With its flowing hip action and body movements, set to cruising Caribbean beats, this sensual dance has emerged as a favourite amongst latin dancers. Bachata is sexy and
romantic and is quite different to merengue which also derives from the Dominican Replublic. Rio Dance Studio offers Bachata Dance Classes for beginner and advanced students. Book a free trial class and learn why everyone loves bachata.

Tango Argentino Dance Classes:

Tango Argentino stands alone when compared to any other form of partner dancing. This sensual yet fiery dance style is a must for any promising latin
dancer to learn. Tango is renowned for its intricate foot and leg movements, often known as the “war of the legs”. No other dance delivers passion on the
dance floor the way Tango Argentino does. Created in the slums of Argentina, Tango found its way into mainstream society and has now taken the world by storm. Rio Dance Studio has been teaching Melbourne to dance Tango Argentino since the early 1990’s. We offer beginner to advanced tuition so

Mambo Dance Classes:

If you’re a fan of the Hollywood blockbuster Dirty Dancing, then you may have dreamed of dancing like Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. This classic dance movie put Mambo on the map, and it didn’t take long for the world to become Mambo crazy! This Cuban dance style is still popular today with many people wanting to recreate the magic of the movie. Rio Dance Studio offers Mambo Dance Classes as part of our Street Latin syllabus (no watermelon required). So why not add Mambo to your repertoire?
