Elevating dance through movement, attitude, musicality, and connection

04/23/2026

Beyond the Beat

Same song. Different timing, different feel.

If you always dance the same way to every song and feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your dance journey, this is for you.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how different timings exist across genres – and how you can take them from one dance and apply them to another.

For dancers ready to challenge their ear and break the habit.

Transform how you connect music, movement, and culture – and how you dance✨️

Do you struggle with your timing – or simply want to get more familiar with what the music is communicating to you?

Join me for a workshop focused on learning how to listen to bachata beyond counts and steps – noticing phrasing, accents, and musical changes, and letting them guide your movement.

Just listening, experimenting, and dancing with more intention.

Beat. Tempo. Rhythm. Timing. Texture. Musicality.
These are words dancers hear all the time,
but they’re often used interchangeably or incorrectly.

Regardless of which genre you dance,
understanding them changes how you listen,
and how you dance.

The Mambo section is where bachata explodes.
