Happy hour Bachata dance class event in New York

Learn Bachata and expand your social circle at the same time at this special and exciting dance event. Your experienced teacher Zack will conduct a 90 minute lesson for complete beginner dancers and you will get the chance to dance your way to the Bachata beat. After, or before, the lesson, socialize for 30 minutes with your fellow students, while enjoying wine and spirits from the open bar.

Bachata is a romantic dance style, which originated in the Dominican Republic, and has become popular in NYC in recent years. The dance is a four-step beat achieved with a walking Cuban hip motion, and a unique ‘pop’. It is performed both in open position and in closed position depending on the setting and the partners’ mood. The dance is sexy, playful and surprisingly easy, which is the reason why more nightclubs and social dance events are playing it; and therefore more people learning it. At this class you will learn the basic step, hip isolation and “popping”, turns, proper body positioning, and a solid routine of moves to take to the clubs.

As these classes are designed for beginners you will learn new moves, techniques, and complete beginner level choreographies, which will help you to develop different skills. Most importantly, no commitment to a fixed schedule is necessary. Each class is designed to allow you to get a taste of the dance in a beautiful studio with a fun atmosphere, and you don’t need to bring a partner.

These weekly Thursday classes begin at 7:00pm and finish at 8:30pm

Zack came to New York City to complete his academic studies, and soon became fascinated with Latin and ballroom dancing. After completing his MBA program, he began taking classes with local dance experts. At that time he started voluntarily teaching his colleagues at PricewaterhouseCoopers salsa. In 2001, after acquiring teaching experience and outlining a functional idea, he left the corporate world, gave up his position as analyst, and started two ventures. The first one was EZ Shelving - a startup company dedicated to develop and market his patents. The second venture, Zack's Dance Loft, was his first step into the world of having fun while teaching dancing. Indeed, as a result of out-of-the-box thinking, he managed to create an outstanding dance studio were everybody loves to dance, and an exceptional product that many admire.
