How It Started

BUILT IN THE
STREETS OF
LAKE COUNTY.

Ritmo y Flow Co didn't start in a studio with mirrors and a monthly membership. It started in real venues, with real people, in Lake County, Illinois — because that's where the community actually is.

Gordon partners with local businesses to bring Latin Dance straight to the community. Some venues bring him in to lead a lesson as part of their night. Others are fully his own events. Either way — you leave knowing how to move.

Started March 2025. Already the most energetic night out in Lake County.

Meet Your Instructor

HE'S THE ONE
WITH THE HEADSET.

If you've been to a Ritmo y Flow event, you know Gordon — he's the one mic'd up, moving through the room, making sure nobody gets left behind.

He teaches salsa, bachata, cumbia, and merengue — and he doesn't just count beats. He reads the room, pulls people in, and builds the kind of confidence that makes you text your friends before you even leave.

No experience required. No partner needed. Just show up willing to move.

What Gordon Teaches

FOUR STYLES.
ONE FLOOR.

💃

Salsa

Footwork, turns, and partner connection. The foundation of every Latin Dance floor.

🔥

Bachata

Dominican and sensual styles. Hip motion, close-embrace, and the footwork that makes this dance unforgettable.

🥁

Cumbia

Afro-Colombian roots, infectious rhythm. Easy to start, hard to put down — perfect for any level.

The perfect starter dance. Simple steps, fast energy, and the secret weapon for building rhythm.
