An exploration of sensuality in a safe environment. As a massage therapist and dance instructor, Summer believes that movement and touch are an important part of a wellness and optimum health.  Her Lap Dance workshop was created to fuse movement and touch in a way that will enhance a healthy intimate relationship or a healthy confident self.  Summer’s workshop became the most attended and popular workshop at Bachata Festivals nationwide, having up to 198 people!

Also, some of you drove up to Phoenix for the Prince Royce concert.  And a special girl, Melissa from our beginner class, was lucky enough to get pulled on stage!

One more thing, Bruce & Summer will be teaching at the www.DallasBachataFestival.com this weekend.  Rui and Sandra are also coming, so make sure you ask them for stories about their super fabulous bachata weekend!  This also means that there will be NO TRANSITIONS CLASS ON THURSDAY (Oct 25th), however we will be back in town in time for our regular Monday Beginner group class.

It is always a joy to hear about his new projects and travels…and now Adam will be traveling here to share his multi-media presentation and to conduct a Specialty Dance workshop.  This is an event that will enlighten you to the history and evolution of the music and the dance that we all enjoy… Bachata.  The workshop is open to all levels and will cover the many styles of traditional Dominican Bachata.

We’ve changed our format for Bachata FIT… it is now Combat Conditioning, lead by your Drill Instructor, Summer!  You might have attended Bachata FIT before and know its a challenging workout, but this time we will incorporate more skills for practical life application such as combative combinations from our Krav Maga classes, and partner and team missions.  This class is for those of all fitness abilities and combat art experience who are looking for a fun and challenging way to test your warrior spirit.  Come dressed to sweat and with an adventurous, determined mindset. This class will be on all Saturdays at 12 noon.
