TRADITIONAL/DOMINICAN BACHATA QUICKSTART WORKSHOP

Intro/beg w/ Mel + Malik
9/19 SAT 1:00-4:00p
$60 per person

The wildly popular dance, Bachata, has many styles (aka "generations") and as a new Bachata-Curious dancer, it may be difficult to know where to start.

Originating in the Dominican Republic, traditional Bachata is a playful, highly musical dance form meant for all types of dancers: family members, sweethearts, friends, neighbors...everyone in your community. Unlike Sensual Bachata, this style can happily be done with your sibling, parent, or platonic bestie without the cringe factor. It also boasts movements, footwork, and moves that accommodate all body types, environments, and abilities. Although the footwork can get complex and intricate, Traditional Dominican Bachata allows for play between dance partners, play with the music, and high interaction with your dance environment, not just the person in front of you. 

This workshop is designed to get new dancers familiar with traditional Bachata music, the fundamentals of Bachata dancing, and build that bridge into Traditional Dominican Bachata - preparing you for the more intermediate footwork, connection, and musicality that awaits!

No partner required. No experience required.
