Beginners Bachata Classes (Level 1)

About this course

The course introduces Bachata through a structured syllabus in which each class builds on the previous one. Participants practise the dance’s steady four-count rhythm, foundational movements and the connection between leading and following. Classes use traditional Latin tracks as well as remixed pop songs. Partner rotation is part of the format, allowing participants to practise with different people rather than staying with one partner throughout.

What you'll learn

• Maintain Bachata’s four-count rhythm and tap pattern
• Perform foundational Bachata movements within a progressive sequence
• Practise lead-and-follow connection with different partners
• Dance to traditional Latin music and Bachata remixes

Is this course right for you?

The course is intended for complete beginners, with no previous dance experience needed. It suits participants who are willing to work in a rotating partner format and practise with different members of the group.

• No partner is required to join
• Partners rotate during the class

Before you go
