Level 1 Bachata is designed for complete beginners and those taking their first steps into Bachata. No partner is required, all ages and experience levels are welcome, and classes are taught in a warm, friendly and easy going environment with simple, step by step instruction. If you do not enjoy the course, we offer a money back guarantee.
In this course you will learn the core fundamentals of Bachata, including basic steps, footwork, turns, timing and rhythm. You will also be introduced to essential partner connection skills, covering both leading and following, to help you feel comfortable and confident dancing with others.
Bachata is always played at Salsa parties, so learning Bachata alongside Salsa opens up far more opportunities to dance socially. Compared to Salsa, Bachata is generally slower and more relaxed, making it a great entry point for many beginners.
Bachata can be danced in different styles, either closer to your partner or with more space and footwork. At Manly Salsa, Level 1 focuses on the Moderna and Dominican styles, which build strong foundations in rhythm, movement and musicality before progressing to more sensual elements at later levels.
For most students, we recommend learning both Salsa on Tuesdays and Bachata on Thursdays at the same time, as the skills complement each other well. If you feel more comfortable focusing on one style first, starting with a single course is also completely fine.
Level 1 Bachata is made up of three separate 5 week beginner courses. Each course covers different material. You must be complete at least two of these back to back before progressing to Level 2 Bachata. This ensures you develop consistency, confidence and solid technique before moving up to a much more difficult level.
This course is designed to give you everything you need to start social dancing with confidence in a supportive and welcoming environment.
