Dark. Dramatic. Uncontrolled. Our Bachata Beat Semi-Pro team took the stage at the 2026 Chicago International Salsa Congress to Lose Control… and meant every second of it. To learn more about our Latin dance studio, visit us at latinrhythms.com.
Downtown Chicago takes the stage 🔥 “Downtown” captures the quintessential energy of Chicago city life, brought to life by Latin dancers in this high-energy, all-footwork routine. Performed at the Chicago International Salsa Congress 2026, this piece is a fun, fast-paced classic that Latin Rhythms Dance Studio proudly brought back as part of their 25-year production. From the rhythm to the attitude, this performance is pure Chicago, on stage. To learn more about our dance studio, visit latinrhythms.com.
LR Futurro takes the stage at the Chicago International Salsa Congress 🔥 In February, our youth dance company delivered an electrifying performance celebrating 25 years of Latin dance. Directed by Rocky Quiñones, this high-energy piece took the audience on a journey through Chicago-style house footwork, brought playful “bodega cuties” vibes to life, and fused hip-hop, merengue, and a touch of vogue into one unforgettable routine. We are so proud of these young dancers for their talent and versatility. To learn more about our studio, visit latinrhythms.com.
Our Equipo Mambo student team brought the flavor to the stage at the Chicago International Salsa Congress with a Cha Cha Cha that had a Spanish twist. 🇪🇸✨ Directed by Victor Monroy and Vanessa Flores, this performance is a reflection of the hard work, passion, and dedication our students put in all season long. So proud of this team and grateful for another successful season! 👏
Our Salsa Protégés did it again! Congrats on winning the Best of Show for the Emerging Artists at CISC 2026! This team of performers gave us a fun and showstopping performance led by Rich & Maricza. We are so proud of our student dancers! We love wathcing their hard work come to life on stage! Congratulations LRSP 2026 on doing your thing! #lrsp #performance #laitnrhythms #laitndancers
Our Ladies Salsa Styling Performance Class brought elegance and grace to the stage at the Chicago International Salsa Congress. Led by the incredible Blanca Aviles, these ladies delivered a slow, classic salsa styling routine that highlighted beautiful lines, musicality, and confidence. We’re so proud of our student dancers and always love seeing them shine on this stage year after year. Congratulations to our amazing ladies for representing with style!
Bringing a classic back to the stage. In honor of our production “twenty-five” last November, celebrating 25 years of Latin Rhythms, our Latin Rhythms Dance Company revived Qué Lío at the Chicago International Salsa Congress. This sensual cha-cha holds a special place in our history, and it was an honor to bring it back to life once again. This performance was extra special as it featured both current LRDC members and former dancers from years past, who returned to the stage to celebrate this milestone with us. AS well as a guest dancer! Sharing this moment together made it even more meaningful. ❤️ #latinrhythms #chicagosalsacongress #dancers #performance #chachacha
Our Ladies Bachata Styling lit up the stage at the Chicago International Salsa Congress. Led by the one and only Nadia Alvarado, these ladies kept it cute, confident, and a little sassy with their bachata footwork routine. The energy, the attitude, the precision… everything was on point! #bachatadancers #bachata #latinrhythms #chicago #latindancestudio

Huge congratulations to our directors, Isaac Chadri and Nadia Alvarado, for putting together a beautiful, sensual bachata routine that truly showcased connection, musicality, and growth.

GoogleI love the teachers here and the staff. They’re all very understandable and kind and really put their all to help you become a better dancer. And a big shout out to Roselyn for deeply explaining about each classes and who are the teachers and especially going into details about the platinum pass. She is a lovely woman and just a huge thanks to her

GoogleI had been wanting to enroll in classes at this school for a long time because I had heard a lot of good reviews. But I couldn't figure out the details. Which level is right for me and how to register in general. So I decided to go in person and register on the spot. An administrator named Roselin greeted me with a smile. She helped me to understand the website. She organized a meeting with a teacher to determine my level and explained in detail how to use the website. Today is my first class and I am looking forward to it! Thank you Roselyn for your time and patience! You are the best 🔥

GoogleSome of the instructors including the instructor- owner are not very welcoming. Took a couple of classes and decided to not go back. As a side note, if you take a break ensure you get evaluated at respective level before the instructor singles you out in class and lets you know otherwise .

Local GuideGoogleThis is so. much more than a place to learn latin dance--it is a strong community of people who love to learn dance and love to help others learn. The teachers are professional and fun. The studio hosts bi-weekly social dances that give us all a chance to practice with each other as well as with experienced dancers who are also willing to dance with the newbies, like me. I recently took a private lesson with Jorge, one of the instructors, to get a "boost" in my salsa dance skills and it was extremely helpful! Jorge really gave me more confidence and the encouragement I needed at a point when I was struggling a bit in class. Between the support of my classmates and this one-on-one focus with Jorge, I am even more committed to continuing my latin dance journey. I highly recommend you check out this studio, lead by the Maricza, the CEO and Artistic Director, for 25 years. I am honored to have Maricza as my salsa teacher!

Local GuideGoogleEnvironment is nice, and the instructors seem passionate. While the class I'm enrolled in is educational, the instructor appears to be used to teaching those with some background or familiarity, whereas beginners or those with special needs requiring more effort can feel singled out for making mistakes. It would be nice if future classes could be transitioned into 1:1 lessons, or beginners level classes were offered (bachata basic 1 spends more work on technical, which is fun and helpful, but still feels more advanced than advertised).
