And what makes a free party with great people even better? A free beginners’ bachata lesson with some of Wellington‘s best Latin dance teachers. If you’ve never danced bachata, Latin dance or even any other dance style before then this is the perfect lesson for you. We will have you dancing like a pro in no time!

Bailamos Bachata is hosted free of charge by the Southern Cross. They love the atmosphere we bring but we also need to support them in return. We’re asking everyone attending to purchase soft drinks, food or alcohol from the bar. It’s vital we show our gratitude.

A. Not at all! That’s exactly what the lesson is for – everyone has to start somewhere and we’re a very welcoming crowd for beginners.
