19+ years in dance, 7 years in bachata · ENG/RUS · Also dances: Salsa, Urban Kiz, Heels, Tango

Found bachata when I was 17 in Prague but went on an international rollercoaster of festivals, trainings & teaching. Now back to give all that knowledge & sass back into the Prague scene.

Will be teaching with sounds more than counts, so get ready for "eeh...krttt...sheeesh" - anything and everything apart from actual counts.

4+ years in dance, 3 years in bachata · ENG/AR · Also dances: Salsa, Kizomba

Found my love for bachata in Cairo, Egypt. What started as curiosity became a big passion and lifestyle. I love meeting dancers from different backgrounds, sharing energy, creating fun and memorable dances wherever I go, as I am always looking for festivals to travel, classes to take internationally and locally and create connection on the dance floor.

You'll usually recognize me by my calm and introvert energy at the party until the music hits my energy turns 180

I found bachata by accident after months of ruts in Utrecht. I finally had the courage to start going to socials and that is where I saw Bachata for the first time and fell in love. Since then I became a physiotherapist for dancers and a passionate social dancer.

Growing up in Mexico, I already loved bachata music. But everything really started when I randomly watched a video of Daniel & Desiree dancing and I said to myself, 'I want to dance like that!' That video inspired me to start learning, and since then, I've never stopped.

Up for any kinda sport and people activity, but be careful w/ padel - keen to twist ankles

"The first time I danced Bachata was over 2 years ago on top of a volcano in Guatemala... I was immediately hooked." "I fell in love with how expressive, connected and freeing bachata can be. I hope I will be able to show you that bachata isn't just about the steps, but the moments that make you say 'just one more dance.'"

Born in Prague, grew up in Singapore and the Netherlands, which makes for a fun game of 'guess my accent'.

15+ years in dance, 2+ years in bachata · ENG/CZ/ESP/DE · Also dances: Ballroom, Latin, Zouk

Found the love of bachata in Mexico during my studies and it has been my focus ever since, even though I come from Latin ballroom since the age of 4. Love to compete in Jack & Jills and travel for as many festivals as possible to gain the experience and knowledge and bring it back to Prague.

You'll usually spot me by my never ending laughter... or the flash of my curls flying in the air while spinning.
