Although the effect of dancing on mood is widely known, scientific studies in recent years have demonstrated its benefits for brain function. Full attention to technique, bodily memory, and the connections formed (with music, with a dance partner, and with oneself) make this practice a unique method for enhancing personal well-being—both internally and externally. We begin regular classes by learning bachata and salsa from the beginner level. These are Latin dances with highly recognizable rhythms, facilitating both learning and enjoyment from the very first sessions. In our classes, we foster not only learning but also community building and the therapeutic function of bodily movement for releasing trapped emotions. Classes are taught by Antonio Álvarez, a ballroom and Latin rhythm dance instructor with 35 years of experience. His teaching method emphasizes students’ technique, stylistic expression in both male and female roles, and overall musicality. He also values the therapeutic function of dance as bodily movement that enables individuals to flow with the music and learn to release the control that contributes daily to our physical and mental rigidity. Each class costs €20 if booked individually. **To attend, you must reserve a spot via this [link](https://lacasadeestar.com/reservar-actividad/?id_epigrafe=2636&id_panel=1202&id_experiencia=21415&id_elemento=21415&tipo_elemento=2&id_destino=5405&id_operador=5405&id_punto_venta=7497&id_idioma=0&cierre_app=1&CodAgencia=undefined) or contact us at 613 033 406 (calls and WhatsApp) or by email at info@lacasadeestar.com.**
