Pop-UP Workshop

Bachata x Hip-hop

Bachata + Hip-Hop Fusion Workshop Pop-Up

September 2 & September 9
Tuesdays 8:30 PM – 9:30 PM

What’s the vibe?

We’re thrilled to debut a brand-new fusion class: hip-hop choreography set to bachata rhythms. Imagine the smooth, sultry pulse of bachata meets the expressive, streetwise vibe of hip-hop—perfect for dancers craving something fresh, soulful, and impactful.

This blend combines:

  • The romantic groove of bachata music, inviting connection and body awareness.

  • Hip-hop movement vocabulary—body isolations, grooves, attitude, and dynamic expression—including influences from jazz-funk, popping, and theatrical staging.

  • Fusion potential—this fusion has never been offered at our studio before, and we're absolutely pumped to launch this inspired new format.

It’s rhythmic, sensual, and bold—ideal for dancers who want to explore musicality, rhythm interchangeability, and genre-bending movement.

Why you don’t want to miss it

  • First-ever fusion here—this is a brand-new format at our studio, blending two rich dance traditions in a way we haven’t done before.

He’s also choreographed for global music stars like Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, and China’s mega-star Jane Zhang, and collaborated with elite brands including Ubisoft Just Dance, Porsche, Adidas, Nike, VW, Skoda, and Ed Hardy.
