International Latin Lessons
Fall Term 2026
At DanzAlma Academy, our International Latin Program celebrates the precision, artistry, and expressive power of Latin ballroom dance. Designed for dancers who want to develop strong technical foundations and refined performance quality, this program offers structured training in Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive — the five core dances of the International Latin discipline.
Rooted in authentic ballroom technique, each class guides students through essential principles of posture, footwork, rhythm, body action, and partner connection. Dancers begin with a progressive warm‑up that builds coordination, strength, and musical awareness, followed by focused drills and across‑the‑floor exercises that develop clarity, speed, and control. As students advance, they explore choreography that blends technical precision with expressive movement, helping them grow as confident, dynamic performers.
Throughout the season, dancers work toward a polished routine showcased in our year‑end performance, offering a meaningful opportunity to shine on stage and celebrate their progress with family and community. Whether you are new to ballroom or looking to elevate your technique, our International Latin Program provides a supportive, professional environment where dancers can refine their skills and experience the vibrant world of Latin dance.
