About this event
Des Moines Ballroom hosts a welcoming Beginner Salsa & Bachata 8-Week Course for anyone curious about learning two of the world’s most popular Latin partner dances.
Each Wednesday, the class runs from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, starting on Wednesday, July 8th, 2026. The course focuses on essential timing, footwork, basic turns, and partner connection in both salsa and bachata, with instruction broken down step-by-step so brand-new dancers can follow along.
Enrollment is per person, and no partner is required. A rotating partner system is used during class, giving students plenty of chances to practice with different people and build confidence in a friendly, supportive environment.
Students also receive complimentary admission to the studio’s Friday Practice Party (8:00–9:30 PM), a relaxed space to practice what they’re learning and connect with the community. Des Moines Ballroom is located on High Street, with street parking available on High Street as well as a parking lot accessed from Woodland Ave.
