Bachatify: The Bristol Bachata & Salsa Academy

"I highly recommend bachatify lessons with Charlie and the rest of the team. The lessons are fun and enjoyable, I started bachata classes 5 month ago, as a complete beginner and I am very pleased with the classes and my progression. The lessons themselves, are progressive and well organised, recapping steps and movements from previous weeks. Relax atmosphere and nice dance community! Thank you!"

"I have learnt so much attending these classes! Theres a great empasis on footwork, and proper technique. Questions are welcomed and encouraged, and the lessons have a happy, fun vibe. Charlie ensures he has a good balance in the class, and by enlisting the help of some of the best dancers in Bristol into his team, ensures that there is something for everyone. If you would like to learn bachata, this is the place to go!"

"I started Charlie's Bachata class earlier this year as a complete beginner, with no previous experience at any form of dance class. This naturally brought a certain amount of nerves at first, but this was immediately dispelled from the first class onwards. The environment Charlie creates in his classes is relaxed, fun and informative. He has a clear and immense passion for Bachata, which is shared by the team who help him deliver the classes. Not only does he deliver an extremely high standard of teaching, he creates a community that exists outside of the class, organising socials (both dance and other) on a regular basis. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a dance class, or someone just looking for an alternative hobby!"

"I've been going to Charlie's classes for 2 months and he always brings a positive energy and enthusiasm to every class. He doesn't single people out, yet hes helpful at providing useful feedback and techniques to improve and grow. I like that he encourages a sense of community in the group and how to respect your partner. Thanks Charlie"

"I started bachata classes four months ago and have found them fun and well structured. Charlie’s friendliness and humour have helped me relax and enjoy the classes. He also dances with students during the class and gives back great and constructive feedback, which has immensely helped me improve my dancing skills. I genuinely feel that I have been learning since day one. On top of that, if you do miss a class, you can always practise the routine at home as he sends a video of the dance class with thorough instructions. Overall, I would highly recommend Charlie’s classes to anyone looking to start or get back into dancing."
