Although the effect of dancing on mood is widely known, scientific research in recent years has demonstrated its benefits for brain function. Full attention to technique, bodily memory, and the connections formed (with music, with one’s dance partner, and with oneself) make this practice a unique method for enhancing personal well-being—both internally and externally. We begin our 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 encourage not only skill acquisition 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’ technical development, stylistic expression—whether in the male or female role—and overall musicality. He also values the therapeutic function of dance as bodily movement, enabling individuals to flow with the music and learn to release the control that contributes daily to physical and mental rigidity. Each 90-minute class costs €20. **To attend, you must reserve your 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 (phone calls and WhatsApp) or by email at info@lacasadeestar.com**
