Sway Your Hips Side to Side with Our Fun and Sensual Bachata Classes!

The more sensuous of the Latin styles offered at LRDS, this style is very fun and sensual. Bachata has reached a lot more popularity in recent years, and therefore, more people are learning it. Since the basic step pattern is not as intricate as some styles, you’re allowed to progress at a much faster pace, learning several different combinations in the same month.
