6.30 pm
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. Bachata is a social dance that thrives on the principle of everyone dancing with each other. Coming from a Caribbean island, 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 many new people. 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.

7.30 pm
In this course you will learn the basics of Modern Bachata, a style which was mainly influenced by other music genres in the U.S.A. in the late 90s and 2000s. Dominican immigrants shared their culture and music in places like New York City and merged R'n'B, Hip Hop and other Latin and Caribbean rhythms with Bachata. The steps differ from the Traditional Bachata. This style is more elegant and has stricter technical rules. The music sounds more "pop"-ish, compared to Traditional Bachata and spread therefore fast among the world.
prior knowledge of Traditional Bachata is helpful, but not required

Modern Bachata is, as the name reveals, a more modern version of Bachata, meaning it is younger and was established mainly in the USA, while Traditional Bachata is "the Dominican way" of dancing it. Knowledge and proper execution of basic steps and turns, as well as the fundamental principles of leading and following should be familiar to you if you want to join this course. Here too, we dance in couples and apply the principles of partner rotation, as well as Role-Rotation.
Furthermore, you will dive deeper into the world of Bachata and receive detailed information about the different styles: This includes solidifying the foundational knowledge about the structure and variations in the music, as well as the applied dance interpretation of it, along with expanding your repertoire of movements to make your dance more varied and expressive.
Bachata Sensual, is a modern Bachata style from Spain which includes many movements from Zouk, a Brazilian dance, but in an alternated way. The flowy and sensual movements fusionend with the Bachata basics will challenge you and open another set of skills for you, which is especially useful dancing to the modern Bachata songs.
​
Through this course, you will gain more confidence on the dance floor. Your leading & following will become cleaner and your moves will become more natural. Excited? Then sign up now for a free trial class.
