In this course, you will learn the basic steps of Bachata and the variations you can use to convert the dance into a unique experience. What is Bachata, and where does it come from? How can you lead and follow? All of this and much more will be taught in this course.

The style we focus on is called "Traditional" Bachata (= Dominican Bachata) to distinguish it from other Bachata styles - when in reality it's just called "Bachata" by the Dominicans who created the music and dance of Bachata. Bachata is a social dance that thrives on the principle of everyone dancing with each other in class. In the Dominican Republic people tend to dance with family members and friends, not necessarily with strangers. Nevertheless it's not something that is danced only with the romantic partner, but rather a social activity bringing people together in public spaces as well as private gatherings. Coming from the D.R., a country located in the Caribbean, sharing the island with Haiti, Bachata has spread across the world.

You don’t require a partner to sign up. Partner rotation is part of the concept, so there are no fixed dance couples. Additionally, you will become familiar with the principle of Role-Rotation. According to this principle, all students learn both leading and following. You have never done it before? No worries, here you'll learn step by step what smooth leading & following means. 

With lots of fun, you'll not only learn new dance steps but also meet new people and learn a little bit about Caribbean culture. Improve your sense of rhythm and your body coordination in a group of young, international people, who, with fun and openness, are discovering a new hobby that might become your passion, too.
