So excited for Saturday! We'll have a few beginner lessons at 7:00, followed by social dancing until the band Barnstormer starts at 8:30 playing an hour or so of our favorite country line dance songs. Then we will take line dance requests until 10:15, when the band will switch into Pet Roxx mode, playing some good ol' fashion Rock N Roll until 11:00pm. $15 at the door, all ages welcome. So make sure you have your boogie shoes on (or boots), it's going to be an awesome night of dancing, music, and friends!

✨ SOMETHING NEW IS MOVING AT PLEASURE POINT SANCTUARY! 💃

PLEASURE POINT DANCE: Our Dance & Movement Studio is growing, evolving, and welcoming you into even more ways to move, strengthen, express yourself, and connect with community.

From Pilates and Barre to global rhythms, Latin-inspired dance, and the return of a familiar face, there are so many ways to find your way into movement this fall!

And here’s what we want you to know: you don’t have to be a dancer to dance. You don’t need previous experience, perfect coordination, or a certain kind of body. You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to begin. 💛

Whether you’re looking to build strength, get your heart pumping, try something new, or simply feel more at home in your body, there’s a place for you here.

🌿 Come as you are. Move in your own way. Find your people.

📍 Pleasure Point Dance & Movement Studio
3603 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz

✨ Explore the schedule and find a class that speaks to you. Link in bio!

Move. Breathe. Sweat. Express. Recover. Find Your Tribe. Live Better. 🦋

🔥NEW CLASS!! Latin Fusion with Renee Menard🚨

Wednesdays at 6:45 PM • All Levels, Beginner Friendly!
Starts October 21st!

Shake it. Sweat it. Feel the rhythm.

Get ready for an hour of high-energy movement inspired by the vibrant rhythms of Latin and global dance.

Latin Fusion brings together influences from Samba, Salsa, Reggaeton, Soca, Dancehall, and more for a joyful, sweaty dance experience that will have you moving your whole body and smiling from the inside out.

We’ll warm up, learn accessible movement and choreography, turn up the music, and let the rhythm carry us. No partner needed, and no dance experience required—just bring your willingness to move, play, and have a good time.

Come for the cardio. Stay for the music, the movement, and the joy.

All levels welcome. Come dance like nobody’s watching!

If you’ve been to Salsa by the Sea, you already know how this deejay gets down! And if you haven’t, well, Thursday is your opportunity to find out!

Following the opening set, resident DJ Monk Earl (@djmonkearl) will take over the decks with sounds from across Africa and the diaspora to close out the evening! 🔊🔥

This is how a festival is born — one night at a time, with the people who actually dance here.

We’re preparing something epic and memorable for our dancing community. Not a throwaway social. A first chapter. The kind of night you still talk about in the parking lot and on the ride home.

Important: we’re dancing on one of the smoothest, best dance floors in Santa Cruz. Dance shoes or comfortable socks are encouraged so everyone can feel good and stay safe on the floor.

Warm up the floor with Jim & Jess
Bachata Workshop · 5:00–6:00 PM
An easy, welcoming hour to get the body moving, feel the music, and settle into the night together. No pressure — just good energy and good company.

Then the social: salsa and bachata shared fairly, mixed levels, open floor. Three DJs who know this community — DJ Bongo, DJ Jaguar, and DJ ItsDancingTime — spinning Bachata, Mambo, Rumba, Guaguancó, and Cha Cha Chá until 10 PM.

Salty air, warm people, and room to dance. Beginners welcome. Seasoned dancers welcome. Come for the class, stay for the floor, leave with new friends.

Every dollar from these Warm-Up nights goes toward the first Santa Cruz Salsa, Bachata & Kizomba Festival next year.

Help shape the night — suggest DJs and add your favorite bachata songs:

See you on the floor.
With rhythm,
