Social dance for adults

A night out with a class in it

Swing, salsa and bachata on weeknights, taught in the order a first night needs. Then the floor opens for the social. No partner and no experience needed: we change partners, and nobody dances alone.

Your first night

What a night looks like

Five steps, so there are no surprises at the door.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Book a class

    Choose a first-night or beginner class from the schedule and book it on our registration page. Come on your own or with a friend.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Arrive a little early

    Check in at the front desk, put your bag in a cubby and change your shoes. A smooth sole slides well, and clean sneakers are fine.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Take the class

    An hour with one teacher: a warm-up, one basic step and a short combination. We change partners every few minutes, so nobody needs to bring one.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Stay for the social

    After class the floor opens to everyone with a pass. Dance with whoever is near, sit one out and watch, or go home; it's your night.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Decide what's next

    Before you leave, tell the front desk how it went. We'll help you pick a pass, or you can come back for another drop-in.

Teachers

Who you'll dance with

Six teachers share the week. Nasia and Alejo lead the classes you'll see here most, and one of them is on the floor at every social.

  • Nasia Foreman, owner and swing teacher, standing on the parquet floor

    Nasia Foreman

    Owner and swing teacher

    Nasia opened Soiree for people who wanted a weeknight with music in it. She teaches the swing classes, hosts the Friday and Saturday socials, and still asks every new dancer how their first night went.

  • Alejo Arango, salsa and bachata teacher, in a white linen shirt on the parquet floor

    Alejo Arango

    Salsa and bachata teacher

    Alejo teaches the salsa and bachata classes and runs the partner changes. He teaches the count first, on your own, so the steps feel easy by the time you take a partner.

Questions people ask

How do I try a class?

Book a first-night or beginner class on our registration page, come a little early and check in at the front desk. You can come alone: we change partners through the class.

Do I need a partner?

No. Partners change every few minutes, so you dance with many people and never wait for one. Come on your own, with a friend or with your partner; all three work.

Which class is right for me?

If you've never danced, choose first night or beginner in the style that sounds like fun. If you're not sure, swing is an easy way in. Tell the teacher you're new and they'll look after you.

What should I wear?

Clothes you can move in and wouldn't mind being a little warm in. Shoes with a smooth sole slide well, and clean sneakers are fine for the first nights. Bring a water bottle.

What is a level, and how do I move up?

First night is for people who have never danced. Beginner builds the basics, improver adds turns and longer combinations, and all levels mixes everyone. Your teacher tells you when the next level fits; there is no test and no rush.

What does a pass include?

Every pass covers a class and the social after it. A drop-in is one night, a class card is a set number of nights across a session, and a monthly pass covers every class and both weekend socials.
