⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Literally the best Latin teachers in town. I’ve danced for 14 years and I can confidently say Wellington and Eleanna are the best around.”
– Sau Tham
Trusted by dancers across Edinburgh — from returners to experienced socials regulars.
🚨 Limited trial spots each block — so the experience stays high quality
Maybe you’ve danced before… but finding the right place in a new city can feel oddly hard.
Some scenes are fun, but chaotic. Some classes are friendly, but unclear. And if you’re an adult with a busy life, you don’t want to waste weeks guessing.
This Trial Pass is a simple, low-pressure way to experience Latin Roots properly:
two back-to-back classes, clear coaching, and a community that trains (and celebrates) together.
We keep trial spots limited each block — not to exclude people, but to protect class balance and give everyone real attention.
Best suited for dancers who want a weekly training home (not a one-off drop-in) and want to feel genuinely confident social dancing.

💬 What dancers say after trying Latin Roots
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I have tried Latin dances in the past with well-known teachers, but within a month I gave up. The reason was that in every class everything was confusing, all levels were there and there was no structure. As a result, I was feeling incapable and lost.
In Latin Roots each week is progressive and Wellington and Eleanna make it so much fun and easy to learn your first steps!” – Maria Kousantaki.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “25 years of fun and learning. Now have to update my bachata! Best of many things I like is the rare overall organisation of everything. That solves lots of problems other set-ups assume can’t be solved!” – Nick Child.
❓FAQ
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Not for complete beginners — this Trial Pass is for dancers with some experience who want a clear, structured place to keep improving.
If you’re brand new, you’ll get a much better start through our beginner entry options instead.
Do I need a partner?
No — you can come on your own. In fact, many people do.
How do you choose my stage (Stage 2 vs Stage 3)?
You don’t need to stress about choosing perfectly.
Tell us a little about your experience when you apply and we’ll place you kindly and accurately, so the class feels challenging and enjoyable.
What nights and times are the trial passes?
Stage 2: Tuesdays or Wednesdays
Salsa 8:30pm · Bachata 9:15pm (same night)
Stage 3: Mondays or Thursdays
Salsa 7:00pm · Bachata 7:45pm (same night)

Is this a one-off drop-in?
Not really — Latin Roots is built for people who want a weekly routine and steady progress.
The Trial Pass is simply the best way to experience the academy properly before committing.
What if I need to change my date?
Message us as early as you can and we’ll do our best to move you to another available trial spot.
Because spaces are limited, we can’t always guarantee a specific week — but we’ll always try to help.
Is the Trial Night Pass refundable?
Once your date is confirmed, the Trial Pass becomes non-refundable.
That’s simply because we hold a limited spot specifically for you (and we keep trial numbers small to protect the class experience).
What happens after the trial night?
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll recommend a clear next step and guide you into the right membership setup for your schedule.
