Bachata classes!
Looking for a social way to move while learning new skills? I highly recommend the classes offered by Profe Diego on Sunday afternoon as a fantastic introduction to this dance style and his teaching methods. You will learn the how and why of the correct moves in addition to steps you can put to good use on the dance floor.
The first hour of classes is for beginners while the second hour is considered intermediate level. You are welcome to attend both hours but keep in mind the distinction. Speaking of putting those moves to use, immediately following the two hours of lessons is an additional two hours of social dance!
The classes are taught in Spanish. As a non-proficient user of Spanish, I have found it possible to watch carefully and understand enough to learn the basics. The more technical aspects can sometimes elude me at first. In a pinch, there is often a bilingual attendee who can clear up misunderstandings if absolutely needed. However, because dance is a physical activity, demonstration is almost always enough.
Classes are offered at Verde Pinton and Maduro on Calle Presidente Borrero between Calle Honorato Vasquez and Juan Jaramillo (just north of Goza). Doors open at 3:15 PM and warmup begins at 3:30 PM for beginners. Intermediate students should arrive at 4:30 PM for warmup. Bring a bottle of water or other preferred beverage as the bar is not open.
Additional classes in both bachata and salsa are held throughout the week starting at 6:30 PM
