Bachata DANCE CLASSES

Weekly Classes at The Underdog

With roots in the Dominican Republic, and recent stylistic influence from all over the world, Bachata is the favourite dance style of studio owner, Emily. It is an accessible dance for beginners! While you may find at first find it similar to salsa, it can sometimes have a lower, slower energy and can be easier to learn if you're new to dance! This style is lots of fun!

Underdog Class Levels

class Levels & Experience

  • For those with no dance experience whatsoever, looking to start dancing for the first time as an adult. Classes are taught at the pace of the students, with lots of emphasis on repetition, and are based on foundational skills.

  • For those with some experience in the chosen style, or some general fundamental technique. Choreography is taught at a slower pace with more repetition, and is based on foundational skills, with some light introduction to new movement patterns.

  • For dancers with strong foundations looking to refine technique, musicality, and styling. Choreography builds in complexity and extends beyond the foundations in the chosen style.

  • For dancers with a strong technique foundation looking to focus more on quality of execution, musicality, and/or looking to refine their ability to retain choreography quickly. Students may require an assessment to join some advanced courses. It is recommended to have a high degree of strength, mobility, and coordination to participate in these classes.

  • Open to dancers of all levels, with opportunities for increasing or decreasing the difficulty. Some dance experience is recommended to join an open level class.
