We'll teach you the essential holds, basics steps and turns that will prepare you for the higher classes and kick start your Bachata journey. First-timers welcome! **7:00 - 8:00PM Sensual Bachata (Intermediate level)**: This class builds on your existing understanding of turns, wraps, connection and **(most importantly) frame**; to introduce Bachata sensual whole-body movements. Mastering the techniques in this class will get you ready for any social dance floor anywhere in the world. We recommend at least 8-12 months of regular dancing before attempting this class.

Join a group of ecstatic and exhausted filmmakers premiering short films they've made in the last few days in a shared creative hub. Every year the quality and creativity are off the charts. Come see for yourself. The Filmonik Kabaret is our yearly event, an all-you-can-film buffet of creativity where everyone collaborates on as many films as they can in a shared production space called the Kinolab at Balam Balam Place. Chaotic magic happens leading to this final screening on March 31. Some filmmakers had only 24 to 72 hours to execute their vision, but others will be editing up to just a few hours before screening. Expect comedies, drama, suspense, experimental films, action films, short docos, maybe some trashy goodness and stop-motion and animation are certainly on the table, but we don't know exactly. Year after year the filmmakers impress and thrive in this collaborative environment with over 60 participants. It's a celebration of film, not a competition. No creative restrictions, no set teams. Come and enjoy the creative explosion. Short QA after the films give insight into the production. Doors to theatre at 6:00pm. Films start at 6:30pm. $15. The short films are unrated therefore it is an 18+ event by default. Tickets at [https://events.humanitix.com/filmonik-kino-kabaret-2026-short-films-premiere-screening-party](https://events.humanitix.com/filmonik-kino-kabaret-2026-short-films-premiere-screening-party) Howler Bar & Theatre is a fully accessible and inclusive venue. Kitchen opens at 5:00pm for dinner before screening. Menu: [www.howlerbrunswick.com/bar-and-food](www.howlerbrunswick.com/bar-and-food) Limited tables are available inside the theatre to order meals and snacks once the screening has started and during the intermission. No need to buy this screening ticket if you plan on attending the whole Kino-Kabaret event from March 27 and make films as the separate Director or Cast & Crew ticket includes access to this screening. To get the feeling of the production and premiere screening have a look at the 2025 recap ([www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TJ4iObWsU](www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TJ4iObWsU)) or 2022 recap ([www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHGlT075OVA](www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHGlT075OVA)) with both having a premiere screening at Howler and the production hub at Balam Balam Place (formerly known as Siteworks in 2022). Check our other events to get more details about Kino-Kabaret and how to participate.
