A guide to our levels:
L1 (Beginner) - starting from scratch, learning bachata basic steps and timing, and gaining confidence with some fun moves
L2 (Improver) - for those comfortable with social Bachata dance and all of the basics covered in L1, progressing forward by adding sensual & cool moves, expanding your dance repertoire

At the start of each lesson, we will revise what we've learned in the previous class - so there's still an opportunity to catchup, if you couldn't attend. It's a fun dance, so expect to have lots of fun learning it in class as well!
Partners are not necessary - we will rotate throughout the class. Just bring yourself and plenty of friendly attitude! :)
See you all there!
