Dance Community for the Over 45s
Celebrating Latin dance culture across Ireland with bachata nights in Dublin, beginner salsa classes in Cork, and community gatherings in Limerick. We're here to help you discover the joy of dancing.
How We Started
We're czechiaglen Ltd, and we created this community because we saw a gap. Over 45s wanted to dance, connect, and learn — but weren't finding spaces designed for them.
Back in 2019, we started small. A handful of people gathered for bachata nights at Dublin Temple Bar. The energy was electric. We weren't just teaching steps — we're building friendships, creating confidence, and helping people rediscover parts of themselves they thought were behind them.
What began as monthly meetups evolved into something bigger. Cork needed beginner salsa classes that didn't make newcomers feel rushed or overwhelmed. Limerick wanted community gatherings where people could belong. So we expanded. Today, we're across three major cities with hundreds of people dancing with us regularly.
The truth is simple: you don't stop dancing because you get older. You stop dancing because you stop believing you can. czechiaglen Ltd exists to change that belief. We provide educational resources, structured classes, and genuine community. No judgment. No pressure to be perfect.
Every person who walks into one of our events is treated as a valued member. That's not marketing speak — that's how we operate. You'll meet coaches who care about your progress, instructors who explain the why behind every movement, and peers who become genuine friends.

Our Teaching Philosophy
Build Confidence First
We don't throw you into advanced choreography. Instead, we focus on fundamentals. Posture, connection, timing. You'll understand each movement because we explain it. That foundation builds genuine confidence that lasts.
Practice in Community
Learning alone is boring. Dancing with others is transformative. Our weekly social meetups give you space to practice what you've learned while building real friendships. You're never practicing in isolation — you're part of something bigger.
Grow at Your Pace
There's no competition here. You progress when you're ready. Some people get comfortable in 4 weeks. Others take 8. We don't rush anyone. Our instructors work with your individual needs, adjusting teaching style and difficulty as you advance.
