Pricing
Drop-in Classes
Every group class on our schedule, unless otherwise specified, is $30. Any time you take a group class at Motivo LA, you get entry into the social dance / practice as well. For discounts, please have a look at our memberships and virtual punch cards, as these will save you money in the long run.
Intro Series
Our Level 1 Intro Series packs are offered as month-long programs at $20 per session. Committing to the full series ensures a smooth, progressive learning experience and is the only way to lock in your spot.
Drop-ins are available for $30, but only at the door and only if space allows. Since drop-ins cannot be reserved in advance, we always recommend enrolling in the full series to secure your place and get the most out of your training.”
Once completed, and as you advance into Level 1.5, you’ll be able to retake all Level 1 series at no cost — perfect for reinforcing basics or learning the other role
Virtual Punch Cards
Punch cards apply to most drop-in classes and ongoing series (except Level 1 which requires a month long commitment).
You can also use your punches to get into the evening socials. A punch used for a class also includes the evening dance that night and they never expire.
