"208 Latin Dance provides dynamic Latin dancing experiences, through engaging events and classes. We work to ensure that all feel welcome, regardless of ethnicity or dance background. Each of the instructors we work with have had unique journeys and experiences in Latin dance. Together, their diverse skills, fun personalities, and varied approaches create a wonderfully comprehensive learning experience for students. With some guidance in technique and choreography, you'll then have the confidence to bring your own awesome style to dancing and of course have a lot of fun too!"

What inspires you?

CAROLE: "A challenge always inspires me…. To do something that I never thought I could do. When I think something is almost impossible for me to do, that's when I want to do it all the more! This has been my journey with dancing - going from people telling me that I was too "this" or "that" to dance well, to now being a performer and teacher. Never let go of your dreams! And never lose faith in your own abilities."

FAQs

What is JUMP?

JUMP – or Jack’s Urban Meeting Place – is a not-for-profit, interactive creative center and community gathering place in the heart of downtown Boise. We created JUMP as a place for people to discover new possibilities and explore their potential. This takes a combination of vision and courage. JUMP is a safe and accessible environment to look at things in new ways, including ourselves, and to try things for the first time. When we JUMP we expand our lives, enrich our communities, and push the human story forward. Click here for more information on JUMP.
