Lakeside Dance Lab: Beginner Reggaeton
Reggaeton dance is a passionate, rhythmic style with Caribbean and hip-hop roots, emphasizing hips and body isolations, all driven by the dembow beat, a percussion loop that’s central to reggaeton music. It’s popular in clubs for its energetic, expressive nature.
No dance experience needed— all skill levels are welcome in this inclusive, cross-cultural community experience.
