Rooted in the original Dominican tradition, the session highlights musicality, timing, classic footwork, and expressive movement, honoring how the dance grew in the barrios and social spaces of the Dominican Republic.

Armando breaks down core steps, partner connection, and rhythm interpretation, prioritizing authenticity, simplicity, and feeling over flash. Expect guided practice on letting the music shape movement, using subtle weight shifts and foot patterns to find groove, and embodying bachata’s emotional storytelling. All levels are welcome.

Come prepared to learn, listen, and dance with intention.
