Who is it for?
Bachata Escape is for you if you love to dance and want to learn authentic Dominican bachata - that smooth, natural hip movement full of rhythm, just like the locals do it.
This trip is for you if you’re looking for more than just a dance holiday. Do you dream of a real cultural experience in the Dominican Republic? Dancing in a local colmado, sipping a cold Presidente, playing dominoes with locals, and soaking up the Caribbean vibe – this is exactly what you’ll find here.
It’s also perfect for you if you love nature, tropical landscapes and hidden gems. If you’re searching for something more authentic than a typical resort vacation, Bachata Escape is exactly that.
And if live music makes your heart beat faster, if you want to dance under the stars and discover the true history of bachata - its humble roots and how it grew into a global symbol of Dominican identity - then you’ll feel right at home.
More than just a dance retreat, Bachata Escape is an invitation to live bachata the way it was meant to be lived: with heart, soul, and community.
