What happens
Bachata comes from the Dominican Republic, but you'll hear it all over Colombia — in taxis, at parties, in every club between salsa sets.
A group class walks you through the side-to-side basic, a tap on four, and your first turns. It's a gentle way into partner dancing before you brave a Cali salsa floor.
Who it's for
Guests who want an easy first partner dance — bachata's four-count basic is famously friendly.
What to bring
