Picante street Latin dance is for Fun, Fitness and Socialising

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced dancer, we would love to invite you to join our dance classes. Classes have strictly limited numbers so we can guarantee to provide you with the highest quality instruction. Bookings are essential to avoid disappointment.

“The best thing about our classes is that they are HEAPS OF FUN!” Sky Blue – Director

Our style is distinct. We focus on body movement. Starting with the body means you will become a better dancer quicker because you are going to feel the rhythm more and understand the dance better. From lesson one you are going to move! You are going to feel and be sexy!

We teach our students to feel the rhythm and to dance the way Latin people dance!
Latin people dance naturally because they feel the music. They dance simple, without complicated moves. Their basics are “good” basics. Learning with Picante you will become great at the basics, and you will feel it and be in time with the music. Most importantly you will be having fun!

Dance and Socialise
We teach our main classes at La Cita, King Street Wharf, a licensed venue, not a dance studio, so the social aspect is instant. When you join us for a class you get a free drink and a chance to socialise and practise what you have just learned. This is all to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere for you to learn in.

Our main teaching Styles, Sexy Cuban Salsa

Our Sexy Cuban style is circular, with the guys in the middle and the ladies rotating around. It is earthy, authentic, spontaneous and unique. It is easy to learn and a lot of fun!

And Sensual Bachata

Bachata is traditionally a dance of the Dominican Republic. We have merged what we believe are the best bits of the Dominican styles with the best bits of the western style to create our own super smooth, sensual style of Bachata.

What people are saying about Picante…

"You don't come to Picante to learn a Latin Dance only. You can do this anywhere in Sydney. You come to Picante's class at la Cita because it also puts a big smile on your face after a long day at work! You come to have fun with passionate and professional teachers. You come to feel the real flavour of Latin and Cuban rhythms, meet friends and enjoy life!
