3 Types of Thursday Socials at Dovercourt House!
We have slightly modified the Thursday social/lessons.
Bachata lesson is now every week 10-10:30pm followed by a combined salsa/bachata social. Zouk is now every week 10-12 with a lesson and practice on the 3rd floor.
Pay one social, and get the other for free.
(There is an on2 Training Program from 8:30-10 or Cha Cha as part of the GDM bootcamps. Therefore the short salsa lesson at 8:45 is cancelled.)
We also have a massage therapist who is at the studio between 8-12am ($1/min) so you can get a foot or back massage before you dance!
Brilliant!

Celebrate your Birthday with us!
Often we want to have a big birthday bash but it's hard to organize, restaurants and clubs charge you through the roof to book a private room (up to $5K!). Having it at home means cooking & cleaning...and dancing in a small or carpeted space.
Here's a better thought!
We supply the beautiful dance floor, the Latin music DJ, the guest list so your guests don't have to pay, and our fun all-level dance class, all from 8:45-midnight on any Thursdsay night @ Dovercourt House, 2nd floor. We'll even get a cake for you! Did I mention parking is FREE on Dovercourt and side streets til midnight?
Email Steph info@godancemambo to book your date, understand terms, or to inquire about changes like adding bar service, food, catering or performances.
Not organizing a big party? Show us your ID at the Thursday and Sunday socials and get in for free!
