“Bachata is the innovation of the Bolero, as it combines rhythms like Merengue, Son, and Cha Cha Chá.
The word “Bachata” means party, and it is a traditional folk rhythm from the neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic. It originated as a rhythm for social gatherings in the streets and neighborhoods of this country.”
Out of the 4 Bachata styles, the one we teach is Bachata Sensual, which uses many body movements and closed positions.

“Cuban Salsa or Salsa Cubana is the name used to describe the dances of “casino” and “rueda de casino”.
Salsa cubana is a rotational dance. The dancers walk in a circle while doing rotational turn patterns, often tying partner’s arms up into knots that must be then untied. Salsa is always about having fun! It doesn’t matter if you forget a move or mess up, just laugh it off and keep going! The focus of salsa cubana is to be social, with lots of yelling, laughing, and plenty of gyrating hips.”

The beginner course is aimed towards you who have never danced Bachata before. Or perhaps you have never danced at all before. It gives you an basic understanding of the dance, including rhythm and music, basic steps and easy figures. By the end of the first lesson you’ll be able to show off some moves at CSDA’s social hangouts, and by the end of the course you’ll be comfortable enough with the dance to go out and join the social dances out and about around the world.

Our Teachers

The teachers of CSDA are unpaid volunteers from our own community. To put it simple: Students, alumni and other members of our community who offer their time and expertise in the area of dance for the benefit of our dancing community. Expect a wonderful down to earth, non professional setting at our classes and gatherings. After all, we are not dance teachers, we are academics, who love to dance.
