About La Pareja Dance
Salsa & Bachata classes in Barry built on community, confidence, and great teaching
Meet Irene

Her focus is simple — to make learning to dance feel enjoyable, accessible, and confidence-building for everyone.
Whether you're stepping into your first class or developing your skills, you'll be supported every step of the way.
How It Started
La Pareja Dance was founded in 2014 by Irene, a qualified dance teacher with a degree in dance (2010) and years of experience teaching and performing across the UK.
What started as a passion for sharing Latin dance has grown into a welcoming and supportive community in Barry.
At La Pareja Dance, it’s not just about learning steps.
It’s about:
-
Building confidence
-
Meeting new people
-
Being part of a supportive community
-
Having something to look forward to each week
Many students come on their own — and quickly feel part of the group.
