Bachata Lab

About this event

💃🕺 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** * Class and social: $20 booked ahead on Eventbrite, or $25 at the door * Social only: $15 either way, arrive from 9:30 PM just to dance * Pay at the door by Venmo, PayPal or Zelle **Good to know** * Adults only * Wear anything you can move in, with non-scuffing shoes; the studio has a beautiful sprung ballet floor * No term commitment: you pay for the nights you come, and move up a level whenever you're ready **Links** * Website: [https://www.bachatalab.org/?utm_source=meetup](https://www.bachatalab.org/?utm_source=meetup) * Tickets: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bachata-lab-tickets-1543035604029?utm_source=meetup](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bachata-lab-tickets-1543035604029?utm_source=meetup) * Calendar: [https://lu.ma/bachatalab](https://lu.ma/bachatalab) * Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/bachata_lab/](https://www.instagram.com/bachata_lab/) * TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@bachata_lab_sf](https://www.tiktok.com/@bachata_lab_sf) See you on the floor ❤️
