GROUP CLASSES
Beginner Latin Dance Classes with Nicole Lamb in Hamilton, Ontario, and Beyond
Are you curious about learning Latin dance styles like salsa and bachata but have little to no prior experience?
Our Group Movement classes are perfect for beginners looking to get moving, express themselves through dance, and have fun in a supportive group setting.
Whether you’re dancing with a partner or on your own, our latin dance classes will teach you the fundamentals of Latin dance in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. Come as you are – all skill levels and dance experience are welcome!
Step and Stretch Classes are held on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 1043 King Street West
Partnerwork Classes are held every Friday and Sunday at 430 York Street Blvd.
Bring your dance shoes, water, and get ready to move your body to the rhythm. Pre-registration is recommended to secure your spot.
Depending on the location of your choice, how many lessons you would like, and depending if you want to do group lessons or private lessons, cost can range from $20 to $100 each lesson.
Lessons will always have an element about the timing of music, a focus on weight transfer and how you are connecting with the partner you are dancing with. With a lot of practice, it will only be a matter of time, that you will become a technical, experienced, creative and expressive dancer.

Feedback
So during classes, I usually tell you to keep dancing and I like to watch what is going on, not to make you feel uncomfortable but to make sure I am doing my job well enough for you to understand my concepts. It helps me become a better teacher and I like pointing out what you are doing right!
Follow Up
After the last class, a very brief questionnaire is given on your experience with the class. I would like to continue what I am doing right and get ideas of how to make the class better.

You don’t appreciate keeping your zoom camera on or do not appreciate the feedback or showing your dancing.
You already have expectations of this course.
You are obsessed with being perfect.
You won’t take the time to practice in-between lessons (but expect results)
Salsa for me was a step forward to bigger and more pivotal things in my life.
What stopped me from going to the gym did not stop me from getting up to do a salsa lesson.
Finding out the endorphins that dancing gave in 5 minutes versus lifting weights was something else!
Salsa gave me the academic mind again of learning something that I actually enjoyed, rather than reading a book.
I realized that being of service to others has so much reward, if not more than the benefits of dancing.
I am not getting any younger so continuing my journey with learning more salsa moves (stay tuned for future curriclulum) also connects my mind with my body, and maintaining my memory is very important to me.
Being in control of my body brings confidence.
My cardiovascular system immediately has been improved by dancing.
Finally, my mood, my feeling of importance and my life is made better with a routine of expressing myself without having to worry about other aspects of my life.
I enjoy spreading the history, the music and the movement of Salsa to you.
