Free Advanced Bachata Audition – Thurs 24th August (Elephant & Castle)
Bachatero’s are you ready for something… different?
We are looking for advanced Bachata dancers who really want to excel and learn in an intimate and intense workshop group, where everyone is of a similar level, with absolutely no drop in’s that hold the class back.
We are introducing an exclusive advanced bachata course designed for those with fantastic dance ability, drive and dedication and strive to become the best dancer they can be.
This is not just a course, it’s a game-changer.
We are extremely honoured to have Bachata stars Sergio & Sasha, and the incredible Angelica Marion leading this 12 week progressive course at UKDC’s new venue in Elephant and Castle.
Each progressive class will provide a unique opportunity to focus solely on your individual goals and ambitions.
Because of the nature of this group, the class will be limited to a small amount of leaders and followers and there will be a fun group audition that you will need to pass before being able to join.
We understand the idea of an ‘exclusive’ group may seem elitist, but as the scene grows and develops we think it’s time to introduce something for the best bachata dancers in the scene – This course is not, and should not be for everyone.
Why are we hosting an audition, and why is it not open to ‘everyone’?
You may be curious as to why joining this course isn’t as simple as just ‘signing up and paying’. Well, while we take immense pride in offering open courses for dancers of all levels in the community, and we absolutely adore introducing beginners to the vibrant dance scene, we have recognised the need to create a safe and supportive space that caters specifically to those who have proven themselves to possess exceptional ability—the true ‘advanced’ dancers who wish to progress even further, but feel unable to do so in regular classes.
The idea is to provide a course that is challenging and inspiring, and allows gifted dancers to reach their full potential and showcase their abilities. Most regular courses or weekly drop in classes that are labelled ‘advanced’ don’t normally have any criteria for students to join, and therefore anyone can take part – this can often frustrate and stop the more experience dancers from advancing.
Therefore, if this course sounds like something you’re interested in, we would love to invite you to register and come along to our ‘Free audition’ that will be hosted by Sergio, Sasha and Angelica on Thursday 24th August between 7:30-8:30pm at our Elephant and Castle venue – The audition will be fun and relaxed, we promise – So don’t panic, haha!
What if I can’t make the audition date but I have the ability to join the course and commit?
We understand that some people may be on holiday still, or have other commitments, but the course will be first come first serve for those who can make the audition. If however there is still space on the course we may host a second audition, so please get in touch with @ukdczouk on instagram or email [email protected] to let us know your interest and we can update you.
During the lab, Sergio, Sasha and Angelica will work closely with each dancer to create a tailored program that is specific to their needs and goals – We will talk more about what’s going to happen inside the lab at the audition – We can’t wait to see you!
With this Advanced Lab, we’re setting a new standard, and are excited to see what the future holds for the Bachata scene here in London.
