FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
New to Salsa & Bachata or just new in London?
Whether you're new to Salsa or Bachata, new to London, or just looking for a fun way to connect with others, Pura Nights offers dance classes that are welcoming, inclusive, and full of positive energy. Our events are open to everyone — singles, couples, all ages and genders (teens are welcome, but classes are designed for adults).
We create a warm, social atmosphere where you can learn, laugh, and level up your dancing — no partner or experience required.
For Singles: Many dancers come solo! We rotate partners throughout the class, giving you the chance to dance with different people, build confidence, and meet new friends.
For Couples: You’re more than welcome to stay with your partner throughout the class. Just let your teacher know at the start — we’re happy to accommodate you.
Each session starts with a full-group warm-up before we split into 3 levels: Beginner, Improver, and Intermediate/Advanced. Our experienced teachers keep a close eye on students and may invite you to move up a level when you’re ready — helping you grow at your own pace and build solid technique.
Whether you’re dancing for the first time or looking to perfect your moves, Pura Nights is the perfect place to enjoy the music, challenge yourself, and feel part of a vibrant dance community.
