Each track in this August's Salsa Madras intensive is capped at 16 dancers. That's not a marketing number — it's a real ceiling set by the room and the kind of hands-on correction Arun gives at this level of training. Why the Cap Exists A 16-person cap means everyone in the room gets seen — individual corrections, real feedback on your frame and timing, not just a demo from the front of the room. That's the whole point of an intensive over a regular open class. Once a track f

A single 90-minute workshop feels good in the moment, but most of it is forgotten within a week. That's the gap this August's Chennai intensive is built to close. The Problem With One-Off Workshops A single workshop can show you a concept — a new combination, a styling idea, a piece of technique — but one exposure rarely becomes a habit. Without repetition, most of what's taught fades within days, and you're left having "seen" something rather than actually owning it in your

Two Kizomba tracks run across this August's intensive at Sukha Yoga & Wellness — one on Saturday, one on Sunday, both Improver–Intermediate level. Here's what actually separates them. Kizomba Flavours: Saturdays, 5–6 PM The soulful, traditional core of Kizomba — deep connection, grounded weight transfer, and the subtle conversation between lead and follow. This track explores the foundational flavours of traditional Kizomba: walking, tarraxinha-inspired micro-movements, and m

Chennai's August intensive runs two Bachata tracks back to back on Saturday evenings at Sukha Yoga & Wellness. Both build on bachata fundamentals — but take you in different directions. Bachata Moderna: Saturdays, 6–7 PM Brings the modern, urban edge to the classic Dominican rhythm — body movement, footwork patterns, and turn combinations that move beyond the basics. This track sharpens partner connection while introducing the contemporary styling that defines today's social

Both Salsa tracks in this August's intensive run on Sundays back to back at Sukha Yoga & Wellness — which makes it easy to do both, but if you're choosing just one, here's how to decide. Salsa ON1: Sundays, 5–6 PM The LA / cross-body style — danced on the 1, fast, clean, full of character. This track builds your foundation in cross-body lead patterns, partner turns, and footwork sharpness, with real focus on timing, frame, and musicality that lets you actually hear the salsa

As someone who dances and organizes events in a small social-dance scene, such as Chennai (India) or Graz (Austria), I’ve learned that enthusiasm alone doesn’t fill a dance floor. Many of us dream of hosting exclusive Salsa, Bachata, or Kizomba nights. Yet, turnout often isn’t strong enough to support single-style events. When only a handful of people know a particular style, mixed socials can feel disjointed. Dancers sit and wait for “their” song while the DJ plays music the

Whether you're stepping into your first salsa class or showing up at a Latin social night, how you present yourself matters— not just for...

In today’s fast-paced world, we juggle work, responsibilities, and social obligations. Finding something that nurtures our body, mind, heart, and soul can feel impossible. But what if the answer lies on the dance floor? Social dancing—particularly vibrant styles like Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba—offers so much more than just movement to music. It’s a joyous celebration of connection, culture, and self-expression. Whether you're swaying to rhythms in Chennai, grooving in Graz,
