Bachata Lab

💃🕺 Bachata Lab is San Francisco's Friday night home for Bachata: a weekly class and practice social at the Smuin Center for Dance in Potrero Hill. Three levels run at the same time, beginner, intermediate and advanced, so there's a class for you whether it's your first night or your hundredth. We focus on Bachata Moderna and Bachata Sensual, and bring in visiting artists for workshops from time to time.

How Friday runs

• 8:00 PM: doors open and everyone warms up together with footwork and body movement • 8:30 to 9:30 PM: the room splits into three classes for partnerwork • 9:30 PM to 1:00 AM: the floor opens for a supervised practice social

No partner needed

Partners rotate every 90 seconds or so, and most people come alone and dance with a dozen different people in the hour. If you've been wanting to try Bachata but didn't know where to start, this is the night.

Tickets

Good to know
