🇩🇴 Workshops and community lunch at Café Globen
Sunday, 22nd of March 2026
📍 Café Globen, Turesensgade 2B, 1368 København K
Spend your Sunday immersed in the rhythms of the Dominican Republic as Bachata Dominicana Copenhagen invites you to a day of workshops and good vibes at the cozy and globally-minded Café Globen in the heart of Copenhagen.
Whether you're brand new to the dance or an experienced Bachater@ ready to refine your style, there’s something for you.
📚 Workshop Schedule
Bachata – 11:00–12:00
Already comfortable with the basic rhythm? In this session, we focus on refining your personal style.
We’ll work on:
Body movement
Musical interpretation
Footwork improvisation
Clear, responsive partner connection
Expect thoughtful guidance, individual feedback, and tools to help you grow as a dancer.
If you are completely new to the dance style - you are still very welcome to join, but we want to make sure you know this is not a workshop tailored to beginners. Some things might be more detailed or explained more/less, so just keept that in mind. If you are in doubt if you should join - don't hesitate to reach out to us for a short chat.
Merengue – 12:00–13:00
Merengue is the national dance of the Dominican Republic, and also one of the dances that came before Bachata.
Merengue is a fun and engaging dance style, where the focus is more on dancing with your partner and less on learning complicated steps.
We always say - if you can walk, you can Merengue.
This dance style is perfect for you if you are new to partner dancing, or if you want to enjoy a fun dance without having to think so much about combinations.
We'll be dancing to a mix of slow and fast-paced songs.

🎶 What is Bachata?
Bachata is a traditional music and dance style from the Dominican Republic, rooted in Afro-Caribbean rhythms, heartfelt lyrics, and social connection. Unlike modern ballroom or sensual styles, Bachata from the Dominican Republic emphasizes rhythm, footwork, improvisation, and a relaxed, natural partner connection. It’s about feeling the music and expressing it—your way.
