Around the world at latin socials both salsa & bachata music is often played so it’s good to learn the basics of both.

Bachata originates from the Dominican Republic, there are different styles of Bachata dance, such as, traditional, sensual, moderna etc. We will be combining basic moderna turn patterns and a few other elements in our Bachata fusion bootcamp. In both bootcamps we will learn the essential footwork, basic turn patterns, the rhythm and a few moves.
Salsa and Bachata are partner dances but you don’t need a partner to attend, we will usually change partners during the class.
