Let's sample Salsa's sister dance: The intimate, romantic Bachata!
Bachata has exploded in popularity in the USA over the last five or so years. Now, pretty much every Salsa night plays tons of Bachata, too!
Bachata is an easy, beginner-friendly dance, with a slower tempo than Salsa. If you've never done it before, don't worry—I'll show you the ropes from the ground up. If you *have* done it before, I always layer in technique as I teach, so you'll have plenty to focus on.
You don’t have to bring a partner! We rotate throughout the class, so everyone gets plenty of opportunities to dance and meet new people.
After the workshop, we'll pick a nearby bar and continue to hang out and make friends!

What to Wear:
Clothing:
No specific dress code for the workshop! Wear something you are comfortable moving in. Women often wear blouses and jeans, or dresses (if the skirt flares, or is extra short, I recommend shorts underneath!) Men often wear t-shirts and jeans, or button-downs and slacks. Dress up if you like, no pressure if you don't!
Shoes:
Smooth-soled shoes are best. Comfortable dress shoes often work well for men, but something like keds is a pretty good option. Women often wear heels; however, unless it has an ankle strap, I wouldn't recommend it.
Avoid:
Anything with heavy tread, flip flops, sandals, stilettos, slingbacks, and platforms.
