Here are the details for this class
Get to know the instructors!
💃 Grete is a very positive and energetic Bachata instructor. It is super important for her that all her students leave the class being fulfilled and happy! She discovered her way to dancing in the beginning of university years. She started her dancing journey with Bachata and fell head over heels in love with that. The following year was filled with really intense training and visiting international festivals. After some time she also started dancing Zouk which she considers her second love next to Bachata. All this hard work paid off because this helped to start giving out good and helpful advice to others which she is also now doing while giving Bachata classes!
🕺 Johannes has a very friendly and approachable personality. He loves to teach and see how his students are progressing step by step. He started dancing by just exploring new fun activities. As soon as he tried Bachata, he was hooked. After first few months of learning the basics, he started training almost every day. He regularly attends international Bachata festivals to get inspired and learn from the world-class dancers. He is excited to always keep learning!
What People Say
When I got into the community of bachata dancers, I met many good people with whom we are on the same wavelength! I also love bachata events - happy people enjoying music and dancing! This creates a special vibe of ease and joy!
When I first saw Bachata, I was scared to dance. It just puts you inconveniently close to another person, where I as a leader must lead the follower. This was terrifying. I just thought I could dance alone in the classes 🙂 I started learning Bachata back in 2022 with Rado’s Sunday classes from A level and progressed through the years. I still go to every class with the childlike mind to learn and have fun. Bachata has changed my life a lot. I always felt that the creative part of my life is forgotten after childhood. I did dance for MJ and many of Bollywood songs during my much cherished school days. But, I lost this as part of growing up into adulthood. However, Bachata brought the creative part of me alive again. I respect this dance form, the dancers and the great instructors in the community. Bachata has helped me to be more open to feedback without getting defensive, appreciate everyone in the dancing community regardless of their skills, courage to give compliments to my dance partners, not being shy in receiving compliments, handling rejections with respect, and more importantly to stay humble, kind and respectful. Bachata has given me a lot of friends, not only in Estonia, but across the world. I owe a lot to this dance. Please stop thinking and just take up Bachata! It just makes you enjoy your life greatly, filling it with music, movement and people.
I was surprised by how Bachata feels like a universal language. You are able to instantly connect with someone through movement and rhythm. It’s incredible how much you can express and understand just through the dance. Bachata brings such a positive energy into my life. The moment I step onto the dance floor, all other worries disappear—it’s just me, the music, and the connection. It’s helped me feel more present and confident, both on and off the floor. Give yourself the chance to learn the basics and build from there. The journey is deeply rewarding, and if you keep training, you’ll not only grow as a dancer but also gain so much joy along the way.
Learning BachaZouk was an interesting experience for me. I was most surprised by the subtle differences in leading technique when compared to Bachata Sensual. BachaZouk has added another layer of style and has made my dancing richer. It allows for more flow and visual effect in the dance. If you are considering learning BachaZouk, I would definitely recommend it. The teachers are awesome! In addition, taking a few Zouk classes would be beneficial.
