In the Latin American dance classes, dancers are immersed in the hot and sensual world of Latin dance. Beginners can easily learn the basics, while more advanced dancers can focus on developing their flexibility, physical fitness, and body awareness. The cha-cha, a playful and vibrant dance of Cuban origin, incorporates upbeat syncopations and hip movements. The Paso Doble, influenced by French and Spanish styles, captures the dramatic movements of a bullfight. Samba, with its Afro-Brazilian roots, is known as the dance of celebration and requires a unique bounce action. Jive, originating in the USA, is a lively and energetic dance that keeps dancers on their toes. And the Rumba, a slow and sensual Latin style, emphasises control and fluidity.

The Ballroom dance classes at Karina Schembri Dance allow couples to develop their own steps and unique style. With a focus on fantastic posture, dancers can quickly learn the basics and enjoy themselves at social dances after just a few lessons. The Waltz, considered one of the most romantic ballroom styles, features a floating movement across the ballroom floor. The Viennese Waltz, a timeless and elegant dance, requires constant rotation, turns, and partner switching. Tango, originating from Buenos Aires, is a passionate and intense dance that demands strength and control. Quickstep, developed in the 1920s, is a fun and fast-paced dance with intricate footwork. And the Slow Foxtrot, danced to jazz tones, is a graceful style characterised by continuous gliding movements.
