Bachata Level 1 - Series A
Bachata Level 1 consists of two 4-Week Series: A + B (Take in Any Order - must complete both to progress)
Bachata Level 1 builds the essential foundation you need for social bachata dancing. This level is divided into two 4-week series. You must complete both to advance, but you can take them in any order.
In each series, you’ll learn 5–8 fundamental bachata figures—including basic turns, variations of the basic step, partner connection principles, hand transitions, and an introduction to bachata shines (solo footwork). You’ll first learn each figure on its own, then put them together into a smooth, connected sequence—building confidence in transitions, rhythm, and connection with your partner. These core patterns prepare you for the more intricate movements explored in Levels 2.
You’ll also develop your musical awareness, learning how to recognize bachata music, understand timing, and distinguish it from salsa, merengue, and cha-cha so you can confidently move to the correct rhythm on the dance floor.
By the end of Level 1, you’ll have the technique, timing, and confidence to begin social dancing and join our weekly practice sessions—meeting new people and becoming part of our warm and welcoming Latin dance community.
