I was nervous about my first ever dance class, but DaHee made it really easy. Everyone was super friendly and I enjoyed every bit of it! Keep it up!!
I LOVED the workshop! It was very informative and engaging. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the coaching style. I've only had positive things to say as i've talked to my friends about it. I can honestly say that I have no clue how you can improve on it. In my opinion, it was run perfectly. Sorry if that was too vague and positive 🤦🏾♂️. I just can't think of anything that needed improvement.
Great fun! Learned the basic and they make you feel so confident.

What level is this intensive?
This 6-week Sensual Bachata intensive is intentionally designed as an open level course. This is not a course to teach you how you to dance bachata, you need to already know your basics.
Let's be honest. Sensual Bachata is still new in our community, and building a strong foundation is essential for everyone regardless of prior dance experience.
We will start with fundamentals and progressively build each week, focusing on proper technique, musicality, and clear leading and following. This approach ensures dancers develop a true understanding of the style rather than just memorizing patterns. Whether you’re completely new to Sensual Bachata or looking to strengthen your basics, this intensive is about learning the style correctly and growing with confidence.
Do I need to have a prior bachata experience to take this intensive?
While prior Sensual Bachata experience is not required, a basic understanding of Bachata is necessary. If you are new to Bachata or have limited experience, we highly recommend attending our weekly Bachata classes alongside the intensive to support your learning and progress.
Will this be progressive week to week or can I drop in?
This is a progressive program and is not available for drop-ins.
What if I miss a class?
We really hope you don’t miss any classes since this is a progressive program. If you do miss one, a private lesson is a great way to catch up and stay on track.
Is this appropriate class for me if I am shy or new to close connection?
Believe it or not, most people feel a little uncomfortable when they first start dancing and that has nothing to do with being shy.
As you learn proper technique and get repetition, the movements start to feel more natural and comfortable. Since this is a progressive class, you’ll build familiarity week by week, and by the end, it’ll feel like you’re dancing with friends.
Is there more than body rolls in sensual bachata?
Yes! Absolutely!
Sensual bachata is so much more than body rolls. It includes fundamentals like connection, weight transfer, isolations, musicality, and clear leading and following. Body roll is just one tool, and when used correctly, it supports the music and the partnership rather than overpowering it. In this class, we focus on understanding why and whento use movements so your dancing feels natural, comfortable, and connected but not forced.
What should I expect to be able to do after 6 weeks?
Hard truth? You probably won’t feel “great” yet and that’s completely normal. Think about someone who’s taken a month or two of bachata classes. You wouldn’t expect them to be a rock star on the social floor, right?
By the end of the intensive, you can expect to feel noticeably more comfortable in your body, more confident with the fundamentals, and more aware of how sensual bachata works. You’ll be challenged, a little sore at times, and you’ll have a lot of fun along the way. Most importantly, you’ll leave with tools and understanding that allow you to start incorporating sensual bachata elements into your dancing with intention and confidence.
