What is Sensual Movement Chicago?+
A dance company rooted in bachata sensual — musicality, fluid body movement and partner connection. Classes build body awareness, expression and confidence, solo or with a partner.
Do I need dance experience?+
Not at all. Classes are beginner-friendly, with enough depth for experienced dancers.
What happens in a first class?+
A welcoming room, a guided warm-up, easy-to-follow instruction and time to practise with music.
What should I wear?+
Anything you can move in. Studio classes are casual — leggings, joggers, workout wear. For socials most people dress up slightly, but always something you can dance in.
Is there a weight, age or gender limit?+
No. Open to every body, 18+, all genders.
Is the studio LGBTQIA+ friendly?+
Yes. A safe, inclusive space for all identities.
Do you offer private lessons?+
Yes, one-on-one lessons for more personalised attention.
Do I need a partner for the socials?+
No. Partners rotate every song, so you dance with lots of people.
Is there a dress code at socials?+
No strict code. Most wear a step up from workout clothes, never formal.
What music is played?+
Mostly bachata, sensual and traditional, with occasional remixes.
