Two local businesses have brought Latin dance to BG, and whether you've never stepped on a dance floor or you're itching to sharpen your moves, or are looking for things to do in Bowling Green, there's a place for you. Latin Dance BG and Mambo Ruby's Latin Dance are both offering classes in bachata, salsa, and more, right here in town. Here's what you need to know.
Opened in early March, Latin Dance BG is the first offshoot of the beloved Latin Dance Toledo, and it's already making its mark. Their tight-knit team of three instructors specializes in the two cornerstone styles of Latin dance: bachata and salsa. Classes run in four-week cycles each month, making it easy to jump in as a beginner, build on what you've learned, and keep progressing at a pace that works for you.
The studio is located at 115 W Merry Avenue, right next to BG Gas Mart and just a short walk from Downtown BG. It's a welcoming, community-driven space where the goal isn't perfection. It's growth, connection, and a whole lot of fun.

Mambo Ruby's brings a different kind of energy: fluid, multi-location, and rooted in community. Their beginner-friendly classes cover salsa, bachata, and merengue, rotating through four-week cycles just like their counterparts across town. You'll find them popping up at Inspired Mindz, Guajillo, BG City Park, and other local venues, which gives the whole experience a lively, social feel that goes beyond a traditional studio setting.
