About our Intro courses
LATIN DANCE INTRO COURSE (Mixed Latin Styles)
Our most popular starting course. You will explore the basics of 6 of the most popular Latin styles, including Salsa by feeling the differences in the music and learning organic movement rather than just focusing on steps.
CUBAN SALSA INTRO COURSE
With its African roots, Cuban Salsa is not just centered on turn patterns, but interaction and communication with your partner, which means you will be on the social dance floor meeting new people sooner.
TANGO INTRO COURSE
Improve your daily life, stylishly. Tango has been hailed as a lifestyle choice, even a philosophy. Meditative and ritualistic, passionate and creative. Step by step, Tango will infiltrate your heart and reveal your dancing alter ego.
SAMBA INTRO COURSE
SAMBA is Authentic Brazil! You will tap into the strong, confident & vibrant self. This is a fast-moving, satisfying workout done to the driving rhythms of Brazilian percussion and infectious Samba beats.

From Archana:
THE RIO TEAM
Here most of us are at our last White Magic Annual Christmas Fundraising Ball (it has a White dress theme and we were asked to "be creative" as you can probably see!).
From our Samba to Salsa to Bachata to Brazilian Zouk and our happy and highly efficient front of house team, we bring countless decades of authentic Latin Dance skill, passion and instruction. You will meet most of us as you journey through our courses and dance styles.
