Bachata is originally from the Dominican Republic and has become one of the most popular Latin Dance styles around the globe.
Characterised by its eccentricity and unique flair, Bachata is unlike any other Latin Dance style, and itβs known for its sexy moves and easy to learn approach.
Bachata is for everyone!
Bachata is one of the more modern Latin dance styles and is enjoyed by many countries around the world - including Australia. It's also fairly easy to pick up.
Bachata can be danced alone but is meant to be danced with a partner (a lead and a follower). You'll be able to lead or follow Bachata after just a few lessons. Hit those dancefloors!
If you're not a fan of the gym, then fear not. This can be a great way to keep fit and do cardio. You'll feel and look great as you learn and then practice both in and out of class what you've learned.
Latin Dance Australia (or LDA for short) is located near the heart of the Sydney CBD.
If you prefer in-person classes or private lessons, learn Bachata in Sydney with our World-Class Dance School in Glebe, NSW.

At LDA, we love Bachata. Our Bachata teachers started the same way you have and now they hope to pass on that passion and love to others.
They are dedicated to the dance, many of them having Bachata championship titles to their belts… but being a champion does not necessarily make someone a great teacher.
Which is why we pride ourselves on having instructors that can teach anyone – as long as that person is willing to give it a shot.
If you want to learn, we will do what we can to teach you.
That’s our promise to you.
You should not have much difficulty learning the basics and then picking up the rest!
It’s all about your attitude.
It is! You will be able to dance the basics in just a few short classes, maybe even in just one!
It varies by person but most students will pick it up in a few short classes. Like most skills, it all depends on how much you practice and how much you want it. Our world championship winning teachers are always still learning themselves — the bright side is, Bachata is a lot of fun to learn! π
Salsa is faster than Bachata so Bachata is considered easier. However, you can and should try learning both.
As you improve your Musicality and Rhythm which is useful for many dances and not just Bachata and Salsa.
You will also find that wherever Salsa is usually played such as clubs and pubs, that Bachata is usually played as well.
On top of the original “Bachata” (Dominican Bachata) we also teach Bachata Sensual and BachaTango which is a fusion of Bachata and Tango.
