Bachata Classes Gold Coast

Bachata is expressive, musical and deeply connected — and it is one of the most enjoyable partner dances to learn as an adult.

No partner needed · Adult classes · Southport, Gold Coast

Our Bachata classes in Southport take you from your very first basic step through to advanced partnerwork. We teach the foundations properly: timing, posture, weight transfer, frame and the lead-and-follow skills that let you dance with anyone, anywhere.

From there you build the things that make Bachata feel like Bachata — body movement, isolations, styling, musical interpretation and the sensual elements danced with control and good taste.

Most of our Bachata students are adults between their thirties and fifties who came in with no experience at all. You do not need a partner, a background in dance or any natural rhythm. You need one hour a week and a willingness to laugh at yourself early on.
