Before You Start

Common questions

A few simple answers before you choose your class level and take the next step into the academy.

How do the 4-week blocks work?
Latin Roots runs training in structured 4-week blocks. This gives you a clear start point, regular weekly training, and a better way to build confidence instead of joining random one-off classes.
I am completely new. Where should I start?
Start with Stage 1 — Foundations, our 4-week beginner course. You can choose your weekly option on the beginner course page.
What is the £10 Welcome Code?
The Welcome Code is for new students joining their first 4-week beginner course at Latin Roots. Request it before booking, then enter it at checkout.
I have danced before. Should I book Stage 2, 3 or 4 directly?
If you have Salsa or Bachata experience but are new to Latin Roots, use the Introductory Session route. That helps us guide you toward the most suitable place in the academy pathway.
Do I need a partner?
No. You do not need to bring a partner. Classes are structured so you can join on your own and still learn properly.
Is the beginner course a membership?
No. The 4-week beginner course is a one-off course purchase. It is not a recurring membership.
