Our Story
A SHARED LOVE FOR DANCE, CONNECTION AND GROWTH.
Bachata Lab was born from a shared love of Bachata — not just as a dance, but as a way to connect, communicate, and express. Founded in April 2024 by KyE (Kieran and Erica), the school brings together years of international training, competing, teaching, and dancing shaped by experiences across Australia and abroad.
​
Through travelling, learning, and dancing in different communities, we came to believe that great social dancing is built on strong fundamentals, musical understanding, and genuine connection. Bachata Lab was created as a space where dancers can learn with intention, feel supported in their growth, and enjoy the process along the way.
​
At its heart, Bachata Lab is about progress that feels meaningful and fun. It’s a place to refine technique, build confidence, and become part of a close-knit community — where dancers are encouraged to move with purpose and fall in love with Bachata on a deeper level.
