Frequently Asked Questions
No Refund Policy: All event and special workshops registrations are non-refundable.
Events include socials, parties, and other one-time community gatherings hosted by Dancer University.
Special workshops refer to unique, limited-time learning opportunities such as guest instructor intensives, masterclasses, weekend bootcamps, or one-off training programs that fall outside of our regular monthly courses. Registrations for special workshops are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person as long as the same role (lead or follow) is maintained.
We carefully curate the music in both our classes and socials to match the energy, style, and skill level of each dance. 🎶 Whether you’re in a beginner lesson or an advanced social room, you’ll always hear music that’s leadable, inspiring, and fun to dance to.
Here’s what to expect:
🎷 Salsa Room
A blend of salsa romántica, mambo, pop salsa, and timba. These tracks are smooth, energetic, and perfect for partner connection.
🎧 Bachata Room
We focus on modern bachata music—clean, contemporary tracks with strong romantic or rhythmic elements. We intentionally avoid most remixes to keep the vibe authentic and leadable for social dancing.
🌊 Kizomba & Tango
We occasionally feature pop-up sets or dedicated mini-rooms for these styles, depending on the night and the theme.
All of our DJs are selected for their ability to elevate the social dance experience. We don’t play performance-only music—every track is chosen to help you feel the rhythm, connect with your partner, and move confidently on the floor. 🔊❤️
