You want to start Latin dance in Sapporo, but you don’t know what is happening where. This page gives you the steps for searching. This site does not list specific schools or dates.
Steps for searching
1. Check the dates
One place to check event dates in Sapporo is the external site “Sapporo Latin Dance Calendar” (札幌ラテンダンスカレンダー). It is run separately from this site. It shows salsa, bachata, kizomba, Argentine tango and other events in a calendar. Some events may not be listed, so also check the organizer’s own notice.
2. Read the organizer’s notice
When you find an event you like, read the organizer’s notice (official website, social media and so on). Dates, venues and fees can change. Always check the latest notice.
3. Ask your questions
This checklist helps you not to forget anything.
- Are beginners welcome?
- Can I watch or try a class?
- How much is it? (Is there a trial fee?)
- What should I bring? (indoor shoes and so on)
- Where is the venue, and how do I get there?
- What are the start and end times?
- Can I join alone, even for the first time?
4. Go
Go with the feeling that you are watching or trying. If it doesn’t suit you, it is fine to try another place.
