Bachata began in the Caribbean and grew across Latin America and Europe into a modern, social freestyle dance (not choreographed).

"When I first came to Salsa Latina I had no Latin dance experience at all, so it was a bit daunting. But they made me feel so relaxed, the environment is really friendly and the classes are fun but also really clear and very skilled. You learn so much each time, and it's addictive! I do salsa and bachata classes and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something new and fun with some really great knowledgeable people."

It was so refreshing that Miléna was teaching pretty much 50/50 and giving some really useful instruction to the followers, as opposed to just being a pair of hands and a pretty face for teaching only the leaders. The followers so often just get "Oh, and just quickly, for the followers in this part..." as an afterthought. Really appreciated you both look forward to learning from you again sometime"
