OUR METHODOLOGY
With over twenty collective years of professional teaching experience, we have created a methodology that combines our expertise as dancers, performers, educators, musicians and cultural ambassadors to create a very unique and holistic approach to equipping prospective instructors with all the tools they may need. A methodology with dance and teaching techniques, vocabulary and class structure that honours the integrity and history of the island and provides an approachable and inspiring way of learning.
Our methodology has been carefully crafted and tailored based on the common skill-set necessary to achieve a successful career as a Bachata Dominicana instructor.
MUSIC AND HISTORY
Learn about the clash of the three different cultures on one island, which created the rich history and colorful and diverse music we know today as Bachata Dominicana. Learn about its core influencing styles Merengue, Bolero, and Son, as well as other popular styles that are culturally significant like Palo, Gaga, Dembow and more.
One very important part of the instructor training will focus on the music and history so that you have a more complete knowledge and understanding of all aspects of bachata. Aside from our vast curriculum of partner dancing and solo dancing skills, you will also gain access to educational materials covering the history of the music and dance and how to transmit the information for teaching it to your students in a fun and inviting way.
