Bachata Level 1 - Thursdays 7:00pm

Suitable for people with no prior dance experience, level 1 classes establish the foundations of bachata timing, connection and dancefloor etiquette to give you the skills to start social dancing immediately, while building your confidence to tackle the levels ahead. No partners required, as we rotate often during every class!

If you're not sure where to start, Level 1 is the best place!

Bachata Level 2 - Thursdays 8:00pm

Level 2 builds on the core concepts to develop more complex moves, dips and styling, and progresses to more challenging patterns. You will be introduced to syncopation and musicality concepts that will help you better engage with the music as you dance, and develop your own dazzling style!

Suitable as a drop-in class for anyone with prior dance experience or those wanting a challenge!

Lots of fun and Des is a great instructor who makes you feel comfortable even when you're a bit unsure of what you're doing. Perfect for absolute beginners, affordable and made easy. I highly recommend giving it a go even (especially) if you've never danced before.

Popular Styles of Bachata

Traditional Bachata

Also referred to as Authentic Bachata or Dominican Bachata, this is the style of bachata you'd see danced in the Dominican Republic itself.

Emphasising quick syncopated footwork and strong connection to the melodies within the music, Traditional Bachata can at first seem daunting but allows great freedom of expression for the individual dancer.

As Perth's first traditional bachata focused school, our goal is to help you to connect authentically with the real roots of bachata

Modern Bachata

The most common styles of bachata you may see out on the dance floor! Fusion, Urban or Club Style bachata (among other names) is the modernised version of bachata incorporating elements from other dance styles as it left the Dominican Republic in the 90s

These styles mixing in Latin and Western influences helped fuel bachata's explosive rise in popularity as it was danced in nightclubs around the world

The Island Touch bachata that we teach on Thursdays is a fusion style, featuring Traditional, Modern and Sensual influences to give you the best foundation for your dance journey!

(Often referred to as "Moderna" to signify modern influences, Bachata Moderna is actually a specific style pioneered by Juan Ruiz, key organiser of the world's first Bachata Festival - in Sydney, Australia!)

Bachata Sensual

Developed in Spain by Korke and Judith over 15 years ago, Bachata Sensual is the youngest of the major styles, but rapidly becoming the most popular

Longer movements, sensual body isolations and theatrical musicality emphasise bachata's passionate roots, while providing great material for social media!

Our level 2 classes mix in Bachata Sensual techniques and patterns to build your dance vocabulary further, preparing you for whatever may get thrown at you on the social dance floor!
