8 Week Bachata Bootcamp for Absolute Beginners

About this event

This 8-week bachata bootcamp is built for absolute beginners who want a clear, progressive path from “two left feet” to feeling confident on the dance floor.

The series starts Tuesday, May 5, 2026 in Knoxville, with class running from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. No partner and no experience are needed, and students rotate partners during class so everyone can learn comfortably. Across the eight weeks, the focus is step-by-step fundamentals like timing and connection, turns and rhythm, partnerwork, styling and body movement, and musicality, with a final week for review and celebration. After each class, there is a mini bachata social to practice what was just learned in a relaxed, friendly setting.

The full 8-week package is $77 and includes the eight classes plus weekly practice socials, a private chat community, weekly recap videos, and a bachata music playlist. Enrollment is limited, and the program is hosted by Waldo y Jacqui of Salsa Knoxville Dance Company.
