Wear something comfortable that you can move in โ think workout clothes or anything breathable.
For shoes, bring dance shoes or clean, smooth-soled shoes that stay secure on your feet. Avoid sneakers with too much grip, flip flops, or boots. Here are some good shoe brands!

We focus on helping students truly understand the fundamentals of Latin dance โ connection, movement, musicality, and more โ in a supportive and welcoming environment. We believe great dancing starts with great technique, and we make that fun, accessible, and empowering for everyone.
Bella Vita offers two kinds of learning experiences:
Pathways โ Structured 3-month programs with weekly training, workshops, open practice, and real technique. Choose from Foundations, Progression, or Elevate. These are commitment-based and ideal for dancers who want to grow with purpose.
Drop-In Classes โ A few flexible options each week like Open-Level Bachata, the Free Intro to Salsa, and rotating Wednesday Workshops.
