If you have been dancing bachata with a partner weekly for about a year, feel confident in your basic bachata skills, and can already dance well with most partners, this is probably the right level for you. This course will deepen your knowledge of the basic steps and move on to slightly more challenging variations and patterns, with a greater focus on body movement. The course does not only focus on practicing patterns, but you will also learn the correct technique for performing the moves and receive tips for social dancing.
The sensual bachata style taught in this course originated in Cádiz, Spain, and is generally attributed to Korke Escalona and Judith Cordero.

During the course safe techniques for Sensual Bachatas signature body rolls, head rolls and dips will be practiced.

Over the years, she has also organized several dance events in the Helsinki metropolitan area, with her best-known project being the collaborative event Helsinki Bachata Blast.
