Private sessions are the ultimate resource to developing those little details to bring your dancing to the next level.

We break it down for you and practice together every class. In this 10-week series you'll progress through sexy, advanced, but practical moves that you can take to the dance floor. We are constantly reviewing previous moves as well so that your dancing is truly transformed by the end of the series. Bachata experience required. The instructors will rotate in and dance with you as well. Class WILL fill to capacity! Register early.

NEW TO LOS ANGELES?
Westwood, the location of the Movers and Shakers Dance salsa dance programs and bachata dance programs, is in the heart of West Los Angeles. It's near UCLA and many areas you may have heard of: Santa Monica, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Mar Vista, Sawtelle (little Tokyo / Osaka), Culver City, Marina Del Rey and Century City.
To the east is West Hollywood, Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles and to the north is The San Fernando Valley, with Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood and more.
Although these are the nearby areas, students drive from ALL over for Movers and Shakers salsa dance classes and bachata dance classes. Every week students come from Orange County, East Los Angeles, Burbank, and they've even come from as far as Bakersfield and Santa Barbara!
Come join the hundreds of other Movers and Shakers. We are a big and welcoming family where you will find many friends and many dance partners to go out with and explore the Los Angeles salsa and bachata dance scene.
