Dance classes

At the Shai-N Dance Academy, we offer a plethora of different dance forms. In the safety of a classroom with other like-minded individuals, discover the dancer within you!
Call us today to know which of these could work best for you!

1. Salsa: Sass, sensuality and verve; just a few of the words that come to our mind when we think of Salsa! A type of Latin American dance done to the music of the same name, Salsa incorporates elements of jazz and rock.

2. Bachata: This is a style of Latin social dance from the Dominican Republic which is associated with bachata music. An extremely fun and groovy dance form, this is great for beginners.

3. Jive: This is a style of dance that originated in the United States from African-Americans in the early 1930s. It is a livelier variant of the Jitterbug, a form of Swing dance.

4. Foxtrot: This is a smooth, progressive dance notable for its long, continuous fluid movement, and is in equal parts graceful and elegant.

5. Waltz: This is a dance performed by a couple who move around the dance floor as they rhythmically turn round and round and is one dance form that is undeniably charming in its gracefulness.

6. Viennese Waltz: Viennese Waltz is a genre of ballroom dance which allows you to move with grace and fluidity that could almost be compared to floating.

7. Cha-cha: Cha-cha is mostly danced to authentic Cuban music. Although people often mistake the counts to be “one, two, cha-cha-cha”, the original counts to this dance form are, “two, three, cha-cha, one”.

8. Tango: Tango is a dance that has influences from African, Native American and European culture. The tango is the result of a combination of the German Waltz, Czech Polka, Polish Mazurka, and Bohemian Schottische with the Spanish-Cuban Habanera, African Candombe, and Argentinian Milonga.

9. Rhumba: Rhumba, also known as ballroom rumba, is a genre of ballroom music and dance. Taking its name from the latter, ballroom rumba differs completely from Cuban rumba. Hence, authors prefer the Americanized spelling of the word (rhumba) to distinguish between them.
