🎶 Join Misfits in Love for a beginner-friendly Sensual Bachata class, where anyone can lead, follow, or switch it up during our evening social! No traditional roles, no expectations—just movement, play, and community.
🌈 In this inclusive queer and ENM space, dance isn’t about rigid roles—it’s about trust, adaptability, and stepping into new perspectives. If you usually lead, try following. If you love following, experiment with leading. Both roles make you a stronger, more connected dancer—and human!
🤓 Our incredible instructor, Dunya-Sharon (she/her), will guide us through a warm-up to get you comfortable in your body and ready to move. Then, they’ll demo and teach a beginner-friendly Sensual Bachata routine, with consent built into the flow. We’ll rotate partners throughout the class, giving everyone a chance to connect and experience in either the leading or following role of your choice.
💃 We’ll finish the night with our Sensual Bachata Social! 🎶✨ Stay, dance, and practice your newfound skills in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Meet new people, explore movement, and embrace the rhythm.
💛 No experience? No partner? No problem! Come solo or with a partner and explore the play and connection of Sensual Bachata in a judgment-free space for LA’s ENM & LGBTQ+ communities. Come for the dance, stay for the connection. 💖
👠We’ll be dancing in a 4,000 sq. ft. ballroom with hardwood floors, 20-foot ceilings, and dreamy cityscape views.
