Description

Bachata is a style of social dance from the Dominican Republic, which evolved alongside the namesake music genre (popular artists include Raulin Rodriguez, Dani J, Acentura, and many others). Bachata is a latin partner dance descended from Bolero and with a strong influence from other dances such as Salsa, Cha-cha or Zouk.

A few different style variations exist today, the one that will be taught in this class will be 'Bachata Fusion', wich is the most common style danced in social events throughout Europe.

In bachata 1, we will learn the basic steps, positions and spins that will allow you to clearly communicate fundamental figures to your partner on the dance floor. We hope to teach you the elements that will build your confidence and improve your connection to your partner.

---

This beginner class will teach you the basics of Bachata up to some simple figure combinations to try out on the social dance floor! No prior knowledge required :)

Skills learned will include:

  • Paseala 

  • Media

  • Bolero

Very, very fun course with a quick pace without being overwhelming. Heike and Nicolas showed us a lot of fun figures and the very often and quick partner changes keep the atmosphere lighthearted. Big recommendation!

Starting with no previous dancing experience and showing up without a partner, I was quite hesitant at the beginning. However, Alex and Eveline created a nice environment right away and made the learning process fun and rewarding. With its slower rhythm, Bachata 1 lets you get the basics fast and start dancing quickly, enjoying the classes from day 1 and building up to more complex moves.

One of the best TQ classes I have taken so far. The pacing was great, the instructions were clear, and great energy all around.

I really liked the course. Many thanks! I liked how we started and the figures of choice. It was perfect for beginners and people with some Salsa dancing experience. The course was fun!
