Bachata
Class Details
Bachata is a romantic, grounded dance from the Dominican Republic, typically danced to slower Latin music with a strong rhythm. Known for its side-to-side step and hip motion, Bachata is easy to pick up and fun to personalize with styling as you grow. One of our most popular Latin partner dances, taught in progressive monthly series designed to build your skills week by week. Classes are split by level and rotate themes monthly, such as spins, styling, or musicality. No partner or prior experience needed for Level 1—just bring your energy and a willingness to learn! Level 1 Bachata Perfect for beginners, this class introduces core rhythms, footwork, partner connection, and basic turns. Great for building confidence and getting comfortable on the dance floor. Level 2 Bachata For dancers who already know the basics and are ready for more complexity. We explore musicality, technique, and creative combos in a supportive, social environment.
