Latin Dance Classes
At Latin Pulse we offer ladies' beginner and intermediate latin dance classes in San Rafael. Classes are in the form of dance performance teams and each rehearse once a week over a 5 month dance season.
​
In addition to our weekly class, we meet once a month for a team picnic where we hold short review classes and socialize afterwards.
Each dance team is limited to 14 women and monthly memberships dues are paid at the start of the month.
All ages, levels and shapes are welcome.

Beginner Bachata Team
Thursday 5:30pm at Body Vibe Studio in San Rafael, Ca
Led by our amazing instructor, Kristie Ridley, this class is perfect for complete beginners. You'll learn the basics of bachata and Latin technique, including styling and footwork, all set to the popular bachata songs.
Over a 5-month season, you'll build your skills and confidence, with an optional opportunity to perform at our annual Latin Pulse Christmas party in December. No previous dance experience is needed—just a willingness to have fun and learn!
Intermediate Bachata Team
Thursdays 6:30pm at Body Vibe Studio in San Rafael, Ca
This class is ideal for anyone looking to refine their bachata basics while learning a fun and engaging choreography. With the opportunity to perform at the end of the season, dancers can choose to showcase their skills in a lively and supportive environment—performances are optional but highly enjoyable. This team welcomes more intermediate dancers, with a faster tempo than our beginner class and a bit more challenging routine. At least 2 years of dance training is required to be able to keep up with the tempo of this team.
Performance Team
Thursdays 7:30pm at Body Vibe Studio in San Rafael, Ca
Our Performance Team in Marin County, where passion meets precision every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. This team is the heartbeat of Latin Pulse, representing us on the grandest stages like the Reno Festival and Sacramento Dance Festival, where we proudly perform each year.
Our dancers are selected through an audition process, bringing together individuals with extensive dance and performance experience. As part of this dynamic team, you'll master multiple routines each season, pushing your skills to new heights in a fun environment.
Whether you're drawn by the thrill of the stage or the camaraderie of fellow dancers, our Performance Team offers an unparalleled opportunity to shine.
