How Dance Classes Actually Work

Below street level at 154-160 Broadway, R&M Latin Dance runs a salsa and bachata school that several hundred students pass through each year, most of them starting as complete beginners. Teachers Rhian Saunders and Mariano De Simone set it up in 2023 and bring around 30 years of dance experience between them.

Groups can book the pair to teach some salsa or a short Latin routine, which suits a hens party where nobody has danced before. Because one teacher leads and the other follows, guests see both sides of a partnership as they learn, which makes the steps easier to pick up.

What a Broadway booking can include:

  • A beginner workshop in salsa, bachata or Latin fusion for a corporate or private event.
  • A short choreographed Latin routine the hens group learns together.
  • A performance from both teachers to open or close the night.
  • Dance games designed to get people onto the dance floor.
  • A Latin DJ playing reggaeton, salsa and bachata.

Event pricing is quoted on enquiry through the school's hire page. Central station is a short walk away and parking in Chippendale is limited, so most groups arrive by train, then head to the Central Park precinct or Kensington Street's laneway dining once the music stops.

Beyond the party booking

  • Weekly six-week beginner courses run Monday to Thursday for anyone who wants to keep going.
  • Private lessons in salsa, bachata, merengue or a wedding dance usually run on Saturday afternoons.
  • Solo students are given a practice partner for private lessons.
  • Regular social dance nights give students somewhere to try out their new moves.

Planning a Latin night off Broadway

  • Tell the teachers whether you want a lesson, a show, a DJ or a mix, since each is booked separately.
  • Couples preparing a first dance can book the wedding dance lessons instead of a group class.
  • Kensington Street's laneway restaurants make an easy dinner stop before or after the class.
  • With street parking tight, the train to Central is the simplest way in.

Dance Classes, Explained

Do guests need any Latin dance experience?

No. R&M Latin Dance teaches mostly complete beginners, and its party classes are designed for groups where nobody has danced before.

Can R&M Latin Dance provide music for the rest of the event?

Yes. A Latin DJ playing reggaeton, salsa and bachata can be booked, along with dance games to keep the floor busy after the workshop.

How much does a salsa class for a Chippendale hens party cost?

There is no set price. Event classes are quoted on enquiry through the website's hire page, so send your numbers and the format you want.

Who are the teachers at the Broadway studio?
