Bachata Training Program or any other kinds of dance training programs are very different from a regular dance class (Studio), dance lesson in a nightclub or a dance workshop from a congress event.
While a regular weekly dance class or lesson in a studio, or a club emphasizes dance moves rehearsed by a teacher an hour prior to teaching them, training programs, such as offered by Rodchata, focuses on the dance structure (The way Dominicans dances it in DR), fundamentals from beginner to advance.
The training program is a proven system that emphasizes a step by step guide in creating and guiding a true bachata dancer.

FAQ
Q: What if I am already an advance dancer, do I have to take Level 1 instead of jumping to Level 4?
A: You will need to start on Level 1 first. The teacher will decide if you are ready to move up or skip certain levels of the training program
Q: How much are the rates, do you charge hourly?
A: No, I don't charge hourly. Depending on your dance skill and familiarity of the dance structure, you will go through six training sessions or more. And you will be charged for the whole training sessions in advanced.
Q: What is the difference between other bachata "styles" than the one you are offering?
A: It's very simple, this training program focuses on original bachata structure, the way the Dominicans dance it. All you need to do is look at a person dancing the Dominican Way versus non-Dominican Way, the difference is like night and day.
Q: Where can you teach?
A: Anywhere. I travel a lot. If I happen to be in your city, email me. Or if you happen to live in the Bay Area, Sacramento, or any driveable locations, as long as it's planned in advance, I'm there.
