When and where do we meet?

During the semester, we meet every Tuesday of October and November in the Venue (except October 24th) for our weekly salsa and bachata dance lessons. That's in the Stirling Students' Union, downstairs, next to Starbucks. The classes are open level, which means open to dancers of all levels. 

Dance class prices

You can pay online for a month (available to society members), or pay per week in cash in person (available to members and non-members).

To try a Latin dance lesson for free, the best option is to attend our Give-It-A-Go's (GIAGs), we hold taster classes at the start of every semester. Next GIAG: Thursday 21st September 2023 at 7 pm in the Venue (Union).

We welcome dancers of all abilities, including absolute beginners :D

Regardless of their gender, dancers are encouraged and free to choose whether they'd like to dance as a lead or a follower.

About the Latin Dance Society

Our society brings people together through social dance and music. Cuban salsa, originally called Casino and born when merging Afro-Cuban rhythms, has been fundamental at the society since before the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer Bachata classes since 2022, and Kizomba workshops since 2023, as many dance events will play all salsa, bachata and kizomba music. Once you acquire the skills of leading or following, you can go to dance congresses and connect with people anywhere in the world! See you in our dance lessons, or join us for a social or party in or outside Stirling.
