My wife and I have been attending Viva Social Dance Studio for the past 14 months, and it’s been an incredible experience. We started off taking classes on and off due to busy schedules, but this summer we committed to the Beginner Bachata program — and we just wrapped it up feeling proud of how far we’ve come.
We’ve also taken a number of private lessons throughout our time at Viva, and that’s made a huge difference. The one-on-one instruction helped us build confidence, smooth out technique, and tackle anything we were struggling with — it really accelerated our learning.

Stepped out of my comfort zone to start learning bachata and other dances for a wedding I have coming up, decided to commit to a 6month contract, and only being 2 weeks in, I have begun enjoying every bit of learning. Even going to my first social dance event proactively, cant recommend taking classes enough!
This is the place to go if you want to learn latin dancing in KC. There’s something for all levels and interests, whether classes, teams, dance socials, or community events. Instruction is great and the community is fantastic. Their events at the VooDoo lounge in Harrah’s are well-loved, but their latest Sunday afternoon dance event, Brunchata, at Pinstripes may be my new favorite.
