Bachata: Romance in Motion

If salsa is fire, then bachata is silk—smooth, romantic, and absolutely captivating. Originating from the Dominican Republic, bachata has this wonderful way of making everyone look effortlessly elegant, even on their very first try. The basic steps are simple enough that beginners feel successful immediately, but there's infinite room to grow and add your own style.

The close connection between partners makes bachata incredibly intimate and romantic—it's about subtle communication, gentle leading and following, and moving together like you've been dancing for years. I've had so many students tell me that bachata changed how they see themselves, bringing out a graceful, sensual side they never knew they had.
