Subsidized Beginner Bachata 5 Week Series

💃 5-Week Beginner Bachata Series + Social Dancing with Adrian & Layla! 🕺

🎉 EXCITING NEWS! The Victoria Latin Dance Association (VLDA) has received funding through the City of Victoria’s Victoria After Five initiative! ❤️

This initiative helps bring downtown Victoria to life through affordable, community-focused activities that encourage connection and participation!

Thanks to this funding, we’re thrilled to offer a 5-week progressive Beginner Bachata Series with Adrian & Layla, including a 75-minute class PLUS 45 minutes of social dancing every week!

🌟 MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS!
Adrian & Layla are two incredibly talented, experienced, and well-loved instructors in Victoria’s Latin dance community! Known for their warmth, energy, and ability to make learning fun and approachable, they’ve taught groups of over 100 dancers at our summer events!

💰 Similar dance series typically cost around $150, but thanks to this funding, you’ll pay JUST $15 FOR ALL 5 WEEKS! 🤯 That’s only $3 per week for TWO HOURS of dancing!

📅 EVENT DETAILS
📅 Dates: Every Monday, November 16 – December 14, 2026
📍 Location: United Commons, 932 Balmoral Road, Victoria
🎵 6:15–7:30 PM: Beginner Bachata Class (75 minutes)
🎶 7:30–8:15 PM: Salsa & Bachata Social (2 Bachata songs for every 1 Salsa song)
💰 Cost: $15 for the entire 5-week series!

✨ ALL LEVELS WELCOME! This progressive series is designed for complete beginners with absolutely no dance experience, but everyone is welcome!

🤝 NO PARTNER REQUIRED! We’ll do our best to maintain an even balance of leads and follows.
💃 Lead: Guides the movements and direction of the dance.
🕺 Follow: Responds to the lead’s movements and signals.
Anyone can choose to lead or follow!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ATTEND ALL FIVE WEEKS! This is a progressive series, meaning each week’s lesson builds on the previous one. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to benefit from this heavily subsidized program, we’re asking participants to commit to attending the entire series.
