I came to Marcelo’s first class literally knowing NOTHING; with his step by step guidance and the one-on-one help from the other instructors, I was able to ramp up super quickly.

You will gain so much more than improved dance skills. You will gain confidence, a love of bachata, and best of all a community of diverse people who love to dance!

I was nervous about coming but immediately put at ease during the 5 minute intro.

As a first time Bachata learner, I was a bit intimidated but Marcelo had a grace about him that really made the entire process so enjoyable and fun.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No! If you bring a partner, fantastic. If you don’t bring a partner, fantastic.
The class operates a partner rotation system, which means you get to practice with a new partner every few minutes and meet new friends.
If you have a partner and you do not wish to rotate, you can remain together exclusively for the entire class.
If you know the basic steps and turns of Bachata, you can try starting with Level 2. If you are unsure and want a solid foundation, we recommend starting with Level 1.
If you are unsure between Level 2 and Level 3, we recommend starting with Level 2.
It is not uncommon for some people to take 2 levels on the same day while they transition from one level to the next.
Wear something comfortable and easy to move in.
First timers, preferably no heels as it’s harder to learn. Once you learn the fundamentals, then switch to heels. Otherwise, wear something comfortable that doesn’t have too much grip.
Preferably no black souls that will heavily mark the dance floor.
Due to limited space per class, we ask for a 24 hour notice in order to reschedule your class without losing the credit. This allows us sufficient time to open it to another student. Classes missed without notice will not receive a refund.
If you’re not sure what level you should take, we encourage you to start with the lower one on the first night.
If you have experience with Bachata, you aren’t sure which level to take, and you really want to take two levels on your first day- we are happy to assist you. Please reply to your confirmation email requesting information for a 2nd ticket. The 2nd ticket will be regular price, which is $20 for a one time drop-in.
