You belong here.

A little nervous? A little excited?

A NEW STEP. A REASON TO SMILE.
Kery and Dario guiding a group of dancers through their stepsWE ALL START SOMEWHERE.
YOUR FIRST DAY AT DK

COME AS YOU ARE.
We’ll take it from here.

  1. Start with a hello.

    Meet your instructor, tell us a little about yourself, and settle in. New faces are part of what makes this place feel like DK.

  2. Find your rhythm.

    We break down the timing and steps, then practice with music. Ask questions, try again, and let yourself enjoy learning.

  3. Put it together.

    Build on what you’ve learned, one small win at a time. Every dancer on the floor had a first class, too.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OVER

A FEW THINGS.
And you’re ready.

Find the studio

Dress to move.

Comfortable clothes, water, and a little room to try something new. Ask us if you’re unsure about shoes.

Give yourself a little time.

Plan to arrive a few minutes early so you can say hello and get settled before the music starts.

Find your starting point.

Salsa or bachata? Tell us about yourself and we’ll help you choose. Coming solo? Check with us about partner arrangements.
