Oxford's salsa & bachata society. Salsa on Mondays, bachata on Thursdays — beginners welcome, no partner required.
Michaelmas 2026 · 8 of 8 weeks remaining. Same times every week of term. Drop in whenever — no partner or experience needed. Click any class to see levels, times and booking details.
Membership is open to Oxford University students and staff — associate cards are available to members of the public with the same perks. Drop-in is welcome, but the termly card is what most of the society picks up in week one.
A vibrant community of students, staff and locals who share a love for Latin dance. From absolute beginners to seasoned pros, we offer a friendly atmosphere to learn, practise and enjoy — building confidence, friendships and good rhythm along the way.
We're a registered student society, run by students for students. Committee elections every May, open to all members — everyone starts on the basic, and everyone has been the new person.

This year's line-up: Open Salsa, Intermediate Salsa, and Intermediate Bachata. Teams rehearse a routine across the term and perform at the Dance Club Latino (DCL) university competition, the end-of-term showcase, and the annual Salsa Ball.
The questions we get asked most before someone's first class.
No! We rotate partners throughout classes, so you're welcome to come on your own.
Just wear normal, comfortable clothes that you can move in - there's no need for any special dancewear.
That's absolutely fine! Most of our members start as complete beginners. Just bring yourself, be ready to have fun, and we'll teach you everything you need to know.
