The dance taking the world by storm... Bachata is a sensual & romantic partner dance from the Dominican Republic, now popular in Latin clubs around the world. It emerged from a long standing Pan-Latin American tradition of guitar music. Inhabitants of the shantytowns of the Dominican Republic call it their own, though it is derived from the Bolero which is native to Cuba.

Your instructor: Gysvier Aldana Noriega
Born in South America, Gysvier has been exposed to the latin music since he was born. His parents, both profesional musicians, showed him the beauty within the melody in all its forms but dancing was his materialization. He was always the popular guy dancing in the parties to the Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Tambor. But it wasnt until 2003 when Gys traveled to Indonesia and went out to a Cuban bar where he first saw a Casino Rueda, after this, he automatically falled in love with this cuban genre. Back to his country, he accomplished all levels of salsa casino and in 2006 was invited to join the famous Venezuelan dance academy "Caribe y Punto" as a profesional dancer, a position that he kept for four years participating in national congresses, competitions and performing dozens of coreographies including a presentation in the oppening of the Miss Venezuela 2006.
