About this event
Thursday evenings at Motion Arts Center in downtown San Mateo offer an energetic two-hour Bachata journey tailored for dancers progressing beyond the basics. The evening kicks off with a 7:00 PM pre-intermediate class, designed to help students transition from beginner-level combinations to more fluid movement and musicality. At 8:00 PM, the intermediate class dives deeper into intricate partnerwork, turns, and styling techniques—perfect for dancers ready to elevate their skills and expression.
Led by instructors Chris & Jewell, these classes take place in a modern studio known for its welcoming community, professional instruction, and relaxed social vibe. Students can dance in a mirrored space with ambient lighting and quality sound that makes every class feel like a mini party. No partner is needed, and dancers rotate partners throughout the lesson to boost learning and connection.
Pricing starts at $30 for drop-ins, with discounted class packs and monthly passes available. All students must register in advance via the Motion Arts Center website. Whether you’re looking to build your dance vocabulary or gain confidence for social dancing, this Thursday night series offers a fun and structured path to grow your Bachata.
