Bachata Lessons Vancouver

Bachata music and dance originated from the Dominican Republic and has its roots in Merengue, Bolero, and Cuban Son. At Baza Dance Studios, we have our own special flavour of Bachata classes - from our Beginner Intro course that starts you with the essentials of Bachata Moderna ("Modern Bachata") through to our higher levels that explore both Bachata Fusion and Bachata Sensual styles, we truly support students wishing to explore all aspects of social Bachata dancing.
