Authenticity
We teach real Dominican bachata — the one you hear at the colmados and local parties, not a European academy version.
Your instructor
Born and raised in the Dominican rhythm.
We're Fraimy and Nadine, native instructors from Cabarete. We didn't learn in formal academies. We grew up here, surrounded by bachata, salsa and merengue.
Our story
5+ years teaching authentic bachata.
My name is Fraimy Pérez and together with Nadine we've spent more than 5 years teaching Dominican bachata to tourists from all over the world. We didn't learn in academies; we grew up in Cabarete surrounded by this rhythm.
We know exactly how to make you comfortable from your very first step, no matter your level, age or coordination. In a single class you'll already be dancing with confidence.

"Fraimy and Nadine are wonderful dance teachers! I learned more in one private lesson with them than I did after several group classes. They focus on building strong foundations and confidence in your dancing. I have taken salsa and bachata, and I had so much fun. I cannot recommend them enough!!"

"Fraimy is an amazing instructor who was kind, respectful and also very articulate in his instructions. Within an hour he was able to teach us the basics of merengue and bachata with ease while also making us laugh and enjoy the experience. We will book his classes again when we are back!"
