The Trendy Neighborhood Deserves a Trendy Dance - Just 12 Minutes from 32nd Ave
Living in the Highlands or LoHi means you appreciate the finer things: craft cocktails on 32nd Ave, weekend brunch at your favorite spot, sunset walks along the Platte River Trail. You're the kind of person who seeks out unique experiences and values community. Bachata fits perfectly into that lifestyle.
The Highlands social scene is legendary - but there's only so many times you can do the bar-to-restaurant loop before it starts feeling repetitive. Bachata offers something completely different: a physical, creative, deeply social activity that gives you a real skill and a whole new circle of friends. Many of our Highlands students tell us bachata has become the highlight of their week, replacing yet another dinner out with something genuinely exciting.
And the creative energy of the Highlands? It translates beautifully to the dance floor. Bachata is an expressive dance that rewards musicality, creativity, and personal style - exactly the qualities that draw people to neighborhoods like Highlands and LoHi in the first place. Whether you're an artist, a tech professional, or an entrepreneur running your own shop on Tennyson Street, you'll find bachata speaks to that creative side of you.
Our dedicated dance studio is located at 6708 W 44th Ave, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033, directly west of the Denver Highlands and just across Sheridan Blvd. We offer an easy, stress-free commute from northwest Denver:
From Sloan's Lake (17th & Sheridan / 26th Ave): Head north on Sheridan Blvd to W 44th Ave, then head west. You will arrive at our studio doors in just 7 to 8 minutes door-to-door.
From Highlands Square (32nd Ave & Lowell Blvd): Take 32nd Ave west to Sheridan Blvd or Perry St, head north to 44th Ave, and head west into Wheat Ridge. You'll be on our hardwood dance floor in about 10 minutes.
From LoHi (Lower Highlands / 15th & Boulder): Take 38th Ave west or hop on I-70 West for two quick exits to Exit 267 (Harlan St), then head two blocks south to 44th Ave. Most LoHi residents make the drive in 10 to 12 minutes.
From Tennyson Street Arts District (Berkeley): Head west on 44th Ave straight across Sheridan into Wheat Ridge. It is a straight 5-minute shot door-to-door (less than 2 miles).
Free Dedicated Studio Parking: Unlike the frustrating circle-for-parking routine on 32nd Ave or Tejon St, we have a private, well-lit parking lot directly outside the studio. No meters, no garage tickets, and no parallel parking stress.
Our evening classes are designed for people with busy lives. Whether you're wrapping up at the office, finishing a late lunch on 32nd, or coming from a workout at your Highlands gym, our class times work. Most Highlands students settle into a routine: dinner at a neighborhood favorite, then bachata class, then home feeling energized instead of sluggish.

Picture this: it's a Thursday evening. You finish work, meet a friend at one of the Highlands' incredible restaurants - maybe Williams & Graham for cocktails or Linger for small plates. Then instead of calling it a night, you head to bachata class. You spend the next 90 minutes laughing, moving, learning something new, and connecting with people who share your energy. You drive home feeling alive instead of reaching for the remote.
That's the Highlands bachata lifestyle. It's not just a class - it's the best part of your week. Our Highlands students consistently tell us that bachata has transformed their social lives. They've made real friends, gained confidence, and discovered a passion they never knew they had. Some have even started traveling to bachata festivals around the country, turning a local hobby into a global adventure.
The Highlands is all about living fully - great food, great people, great experiences. Bachata is the experience you didn't know you were missing. And with your first week completely free, there's literally no reason not to try it.
Looking for something different for date night? Dinner in the Highlands followed by a bachata class is the most creative date in Denver. You'll learn to dance together, laugh at your mistakes together, and leave with a shared experience that beats any movie. Couples who dance together stay together - and you'll have a new skill to show off at every wedding and party from now on.
Your first week is free. No credit card required. Just show up and dance.
Claim Your Free Week →We believe dance should be accessible, which is why your first week is always free. Come to as many classes as you want during your trial week - zero commitment, zero credit card required upfront.
Private lessons are also available for accelerated learning, wedding preparation, or focused one-on-one instruction.
Not at all. About 70% of our students come alone. We rotate partners during class, so you'll dance with multiple people each session. It actually helps you learn faster, and it's how most of our students have made friends in the community.
More than okay - it's normal. Most of our students started with zero dance experience. Bachata is one of the most beginner-friendly dances out there. We break everything into small, learnable steps. If you can walk, you can learn bachata.
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Jeans, leggings, t-shirts - whatever feels good. For shoes, sneakers work perfectly for beginners. Many Highlands students come straight from dinner or drinks in whatever they're already wearing and just change their shoes.
They're both Latin partner dances, but bachata is generally easier to pick up. The basic step is simpler and more intuitive, the footwork is smaller, and the connection between partners is closer and more intimate. Many people learn bachata first, then add salsa later.
Over 500 students have started their bachata journey with us since 2023. Most of them said the same thing after their first class: "I wish I'd done this sooner."
Don't wait. Your first week is free. The only way to know if bachata is for you is to try it.
