About us
By dancers, for dancers
Latin Vibes is a Copenhagen dance association, run by people who love Latin dance — Bachata & Salsa — and dedicated to growing the community around it.
Who we are
Welcome to Latin Vibes
We're a Copenhagen dance association focused on Bachata and Salsa. We run weekly classes, bootcamps with international teachers, social nights and the Latin Vibes Festival.
Everyone is welcome, whether it's your very first class or you've been dancing for years.
Why we do it

What we dance
Bachata, Salsa & more
Bachata & Salsa
Bachata brings the connection: smooth hip movement, close partner work and romantic, guitar-driven music. Its roots go back to the Dominican Republic in the 1960s, where it started as music of the countryside and working-class neighbourhoods. In the 1990s and 2000s it reached a much bigger audience. Once it became popular in Europe, it grew into new styles like Sensual, Moderna, Fusion and Bachazouk. Whatever the style, from traditional to modern, the core stays the same: connection, musicality and flow with your partner on the dance floor.
Salsa brings the energy: quick footwork, spins and playful partner work to big, joyful music. Its roots go back to Cuban son and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. It took shape in New York in the 1960s and 70s, where Cuban and Puerto Rican musicians mixed those sounds into something new. Since then it has spread across the world and grown into styles like Cuban Salsa (Casino and Rueda), LA style (On1), New York style (On2) and the fast, flashy Colombian (Cali) style. Whatever the style, it's about rhythm, energy and having fun with your partner on the dance floor.

Code of conduct
A safe floor for everyone
Latin Vibes should feel safe, fun and welcoming for everyone. By joining our classes, socials and festival, you agree to these guidelines. We take every report seriously: if we receive a harassment complaint, the person involved will get a warning. If a warning is ignored, or the harassment is serious, we reserve the right to ban that person from our classes and future events, without a refund.
1
Respect & consent
Ask, don't assume. It's always OK to say no to a dance — and to accept a no with a smile.
2
Dance within your partner's comfort
Adapt to your partner's level and comfort. No lifts or tricks without clear consent.
3
Zero tolerance for harassment
Harassment or discrimination of any kind is not accepted — on or off the dance floor. Read more about harassment here
4
Hygiene & care
Come fresh: clean clothes, deodorant, a spare T-shirt and mints go a long way.
5
Welcome everyone
Dance with beginners and new faces. Everyone is welcome, whatever their age or background.
6
Ask before filming
Ask your partner before recording, and respect anyone who doesn't want to be on camera.
