Line Salsa Style

Bachata is a type of dance originating from Dominican Republic. Dublin Salsa Academy teaches Sensual Bachata.

Sensual Bachata is modern and romantic dance style which originated in Spain. The dance form blends traditional bachata with modern elements of tango, contemporary and zouk.

Unlike traditional Bachata, Sensual Bachata prioritizes full-body movement and connection with your partner, and it emphasis on body isolations, waves, and rolls.

Yes, we have dedicated beginner classes where anyone can join to learn bachata from the very beginning stage. Details of beginning dance classes can be found on this link.

The beginner dance classes is a 4 week program in Harbourmaster, City center. Once you complete the level then you graduate to level 1 going upto level 5.

At Dublin Salsa Academy we teach major three dance forms. Sensual Bachata, Line Salsa and Cuban Salsa. We are the only dance school in Dublin which offers all three forms of dance style under the same roof.

For beginner dance courses you can choose from any of the three dance styles and level up your dance skills. Our teachers have collective experience of more than 30 years in Salsa styles.

In general Bachata is considered easier for starters/beginners as compared to Salsa, becuase Bachata has slower tempo, easier steps and it is less physically demanding than salsa form of dancing.

The option of choosing between Bachata and Salsa always remains with you. If you want to learn dance moves in short time then we would recommend Bachata otherwise the dance floor is yours to have fun with other forms of dance styles.

Remember, at Dublin Salsa Academy we have three dance styles for beginners which is Sensual Bachata, Line Salsa and Cuban Salsa.

While all of this, some may ask, "Is Bachata or Salsa sexier?" :) Bachata is more sensual and romantic offering deep connection between partners. But that is a story for a different time. Have fun!
