Absolutely, most of our students walk in with zero dance experience, and that's perfectly fine. Our beginner classes at RF Dance are designed from the ground up for people who have never danced before. Instructors break everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps so you can learn at a comfortable pace without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Your first class is just $10, so there's no pressure and very little risk. Come as you are, and we'll take care of the rest.
No partner needed. The majority of our students come to class solo, and our group classes are structured so that everyone gets to dance and learn regardless of whether they brought someone with them. We rotate partners regularly, which is actually one of the best ways to improve faster. That said, couples are absolutely welcome to take classes together; many of our students do. Either way, you'll fit right in.
Your first class is $10, a low-commitment way to experience RF Dance before making a decision. If you love it, a one-week unlimited intro pass is available for $49, giving you access to all group classes that week. For ongoing students, the RF Membership offers unlimited group classes, discounted private lessons, and access to our monthly social events. Visit the membership page for current pricing and what's included.
RF Dance is located at 2201 W First St, Unit B, Santa Ana, CA 92703, right in the heart of Orange County. The studio is easily accessible from most cities in the area, including Anaheim, Garden Grove, Tustin, and Irvine. If you have questions about directions or parking before your first visit, feel free to call us or email info@rfdance.com.
Yes, and couples are very welcome here. Taking dance classes together is one of the most enjoyable and effective ways to build connection, improve communication, and just have fun together outside of everyday routines. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, a special event, or simply want a shared activity you'll both look forward to, RF Dance is a great fit. No prior experience is needed for either of you; our instructors will guide you through everything step by step, together.
Parking is available near the studio, though spaces can fill up quickly around class start times, especially in the evenings. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to give yourself time to find a spot and get settled before class begins. If you have trouble finding parking, street parking is available nearby. Feel free to call ahead if you need specific directions; we're happy to help.

Yes, all of our classes at RF Dance are designed for adults, and Latin dance is at the core of everything we teach. We offer group and private instruction in Bachata, Salsa On1, Cumbia, and Banda, with over 108 classes each month for all skill levels. Whether you're a first-timer or someone looking to refine technique and join a performance team, there's a class and a level that fits where you are right now.
RF Dance is one of the most beginner-friendly Latin dance studios in Orange County. The environment is relaxed, inclusive, and specifically designed to make people who have never danced before feel comfortable and capable from their very first class. Instructors are experienced at meeting students where they are, no judgment, no pressure, just clear instruction and a lot of encouragement. The $10 first-class offer means you can experience it all before committing to anything.
A few things set RF Dance apart. First, the breadth of styles, Bachata, Salsa On1, Cumbia, and Banda, all under one roof, is rare in Orange County. Second, the structure: whether you want to dance casually, get fit, or eventually join a performance team, there's a clear pathway for you here. Third, the community. Monthly social events are included with membership, which means students actually connect and dance together outside of class. Add in experienced instructors, over 55 classes per month, and a proven track record with 65+ five-star Google reviews, and you have a studio that's genuinely committed to its students' progress.
Yes, we teach Cumbia classes at RF Dance; it's one of our most popular styles, especially on Thursdays and Sundays. Cumbia originated in Colombia but has deep roots in Mexican and broader Latin American culture. The version widely danced in the Mexican-American community, often called Cumbia Sonidera or Mexican Cumbia, has its own distinct footwork, rhythm, and style that we teach here. It's a joyful, accessible dance that connects people to their cultural roots, and it's a great starting point for anyone new to Latin dance.
