Bust out elegant moves in 4 weeks!
Learn Latin Dances Salsa & Bachata from 9-time Asian Latin Champions at En Motion Dance Studio
Dance gracefully with a partner, make new friends & have lots of fun!
Welcome to En Motion Dance School!
Have you always wondered how it feels to dance with a partner like you’ve seen in movies like Dirty Dancing?
There’s something so elegant about creating a beautiful dance with another person, isn’t it?
To lead or be led by a partner, and to follow in sync as if you both could read each other’s minds as you express yourself through your body.
At En Motion, we believe that social dances like Salsa and Bachata are the perfect medium for people to connect intimately through music.
Unlike ballroom dances which are more formal and competitive, Salsa and Bachata emphasise personal enjoyment and connection.
…in other words, it’s about meeting people and having fun, and not performance!
Start your social dance journey today and grow more confident, get fitter as you rediscover your passion for life!
This is Salsa!
Salsa is more energetic, playful and flirtatious. Partners dance further apart with lots of quick turns and footwork danced to faster tempo music.
...and this is Bachata!
Bachata is slower, sexier, and more sensual, generally danced hip-to-hip with more upper body movement.
Why you must try Salsa or Bachata at least once!
It's a great hobby to meet new people
Connect with new people from all walks of life without any expectations as you both lose yourselves in the flow of Salsa & Bachata.
It's a workout that doesn't feel like an exercise!
Keep fit as you burn up to 400 calories an hour as you groove to Latin songs - all without having to drag yourself onto the treadmill!
It's lots and lots of fun!
The uplifting music, dynamic movements, and lively ambiance are a perfect combination to let yourself loose after a hard day at work.
...hear from our students themselves!

Started learning Latin Dance from Artistic Director Gary Foo, the founder of En Motion Dance School, since 2005 and was immediately addicted to the dance! The instructors at the school were very professional and made the learning process fun, easy and enjoyable. I found myself looking forward to the next class the moment the current one ended. The learning environment was extremely conducive and it felt more like a family to me. The opportunity to learn alongside friends from all ages and across all walks of life, regardless of whether you're a total beginner in dance or someone with dance background, was an awesome experience for me. I'd strongly recommend anyone who is keen to pick up Latin Dance to check out En Motion!

05/15/2021I came across Enmotion through a friend. Joined a social dance evening, which was amazing, staff’s great, approachable and friendly. Also participated in a workshop, learned a lot and you could feel that the instructor was having a good time as well. They even stayed way long past class to answer all our questions. Thank you!

Great dance class with very good teachers. They have a real passion for Latin dance which comes through in the class. Patiently teach dance steps for beginners like me figuring out how to make my two left feet dance 😊

12/15/2023I have finished Bachata Ladies Solo Level 1 and Level 2 with Instructor Vivienne, she is really great, very passionate and skilful, the most important thing is as a new beginner, never worries to make any mistakes in her class, she would always be happy to help you improve your movements and styling, very patient and supportive. Definitely my luck to have such a wonderful dancing instructor to guide me to learn more about latin dance and ways of being more confident with my own body and mindset. Highly recommend her at En motion👍🏻

Excellent location, conveniently located right in the heart of Orchard Road. En Motion teaches different levels of dance, from basics to advanced techniques. And I love that the the trainers do not make you feel shy about dancing at all. Beginners will feel welcomed. The trainers break down the steps in each lesson to ensure new dancers are able to understand everything while having fun. Definitely recommend EnMotion for anyone looking to learn dancing, whether wanting to learn professional techniques or just learning dance for fun.

05/15/2021Excellent dance school, the top dance school in SG to say the least. Special thanks to JJ, a senior instructor, I learned so much from him. He is patient with his students and always ensuring that we are doing the steps correctly. I am already in a Bachata Level 3 class and enjoying every class with JJ. Thank you JJ and especially Gary for running his dance school so well. Good Job En Motion.

12/15/2023One word to describe my experience at En Motion - AWESOME!! Upon booking a class, I received a WhatsApp confirmation with useful info such as attire, footwear, venue, etc, which was greatly appreciated and very professional. Venue is easily accessible by public transport. And most importantly, the instructors are friendly, patient and highly skilled! Gary especially, explained the Bachata basic techniques in a clear and easy to understand manner, injecting some humour while teaching. This made the class very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

However, the highlight here are the amazing and friendly instructors who make learning dances fun! Highly recommended for anyone keen to learn social dancing!

Classes are really fun yet professional teaching! They make the concepts and techniques easy to understand. In addition, they are super friendly and all instructors are very helpful. Even if you are new or experienced in dance , it won't be an issue at all! Location is convenient too so maybe take a trial class and give dancing a chance ;)

05/15/2022It's not everyday you see locals dancing Bachata with passion and grace comparable to the Latin world. I had my doubts at first. What sort of local guys would join an activity like this? Would our Asian reservations get in the way? Is it truly possible to dance so intimately while being professional? En Motion quelled all my doubts and I had so much fun along the way. On to Level 3 courses now, here's to saving 2020!

Hubby and I had zero dance background when we first enrolled into En Motion studio. We were so so blessed to have Joshua Yao as our personal instructor for our wedding First Dance. He was very meticulous and honest with our performances. He drilled us incessantly and ensured that we will not end up as trolls. We really enjoyed ourselves, despite the wedding stress! Our dance scored some compliments. I am even more proud to hear from our guests that my super stiff husband can dance well!!! Unknowingly, Josh ignited our passion for dance. Post - wedding, we continued our group class with JJ and Vivi. This power duo are fun and great dance teachers! We highly recommend En Motion studio!

05/15/2021Was a bit hesitant learning salsa for the first time but everyone at En Motion was welcoming! Instructions from the instructor were very clear, description and understandable, and many opportunities were provided for us to practice (in class, at practicum, videos to practice at home). Keep up the wonderful work and ambience, guys!

05/15/2022I went for the salsa trial and level 1 course and fell in love with the dance style. Gary, Z, and yeowhui are amazing instructors who made the sessions so engaging and fun to follow, even for someone without a dance background at all. Can't wait to try bachata soon :)

The dancing studios are kept clean, fresh, cool and never stinky (or I got lucky that day). Proper air circulation and comfortable. The classes are small and the pace is easy so it is not too overwhelming. It is in the Cineleisure entertainment building to start with so there are plenty of other things to try or do - hopefully you won’t miss the class but catch the movie instead. The building and its customers’ facilities are well maintained and in the good working condition. The experience was pleasant.

I have realized how much I needed to work on my fundamentals after attending my Salsa & Bachata basics class at EM. Gary is so dedicated in coaching and correcting us on every movement during the class. He’s awesome!

Learning dance here is so much fun and just an amazing experience. The dances are fun, the instructors are skilled, enthusiastic, funny and make the whole learning experience extremely enjoyable and easy to follow. The instructors are really one of their strong selling points - just so amazing, fun and approachable. I always look forward to attending the classes every week and to learn new styles and techniques. The classes are well structured and with the open classes/practicas in place, we are always learning new things! Love this place so much!

“…this studio introduced me to the land of Street Latin dance, and brought out the interest I never knew I had… classes are fun and energetic – this would not be possible without the patient and knowledgeable instructors… a great place to chill and unwind, especially after a hard day’s work… what makes it most comforting is that you don’t need any prior dance experience to get started on classes!

Try a Salsa or Bachata no-obligations trial class at just $12.90 (U.P. $18.90) to see if it's for you!
We understand that as first-timers you'd want to see if Salsa or Bachata is suitable for you before committing.
That's why we've designed our trial class to let you experience the dance for yourself in a relaxed, no-obligations setting.
We'd highly recommend you to try our Salsa & Bachata combo trial class so you can experience both styles for yourself.
See you there!

Faqs
Most definitely! Our trial classes are for beginners who want to pick up Salsa & Bachata. 9 out of 10 of our students started with no dance background as well so you don't have to worry. Our instructors also make it their job to go slow and bring in good vibes so you can learn the steps at your own pace.
Nope! You can choose to bring a friend, but can also attend the class solo if you'd like as we’ll rotate partners between songs so everyone gets to dance with each other.
Come in a comfortable outfit like workout or gym attire that allows you to move freely! Jazz shoes/ dance sneakers/track shoes/ballet flats/heels with back ankle straps work for ladies and for gentlemen, track shoes/normal covered shoes do the job. No flip flops though!
If you have prior Street Latin Dance background (Salsa, Bachata, etc.), our instructors can conduct a brief 3-min assessment to advise you on which class suits your level best. Let us know in the Google Forms!
If you have a dance background in other styles like Latin Ballroom, Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet, etc. we do recommend you to start from Beginner Level 1. Street Latin Dance is a unique genre, with fundamentals very different from other dance styles. Always good to build a strong foundation in a new dance before moving to a higher level!
