Spain in August: Two Bachata Training Weekends at DF Dance Studio

Summer is for training. This August, Utah bachateros get two focused opportunities to learn from guest artists from Spain — one weekend centered on Bachata Fusion masterclasses with Dario & Sara, and one centered on a 5-hour BachaZouk intensive with Borja & Lydia.

Location: DF Dance Studio — 2978 S State St, Salt Lake City, Utah

Two August Training Experiences

These are two separate workshop weekends with different formats and different goals. Choose the one that matches your current training focus, or make August your Bachata growth month and do both.

A shorter, style-forward workshop built for dancers who want more musicality, creativity, and social polish.

August 28–29

Borja & Lydia — 5-Hour BachaZouk Intensive

Choose Dario & Sara if you want Bachata Fusion, musicality, creativity, and stronger social-floor polish. Choose Borja & Lydia if you are already Level 3+ and want a deeper BachaZouk-intensive training experience.

Is Borja & Lydia beginner-friendly?

No. The Borja & Lydia weekend is positioned as a Level 3+ intermediate/advanced intensive and is best for dancers with a real Bachata base already in place.

Make August Your Bachata Training Month

Utah does not get weekends like this all the time. If you want a summer that actually changes your dancing, this is your chance to train with guest artists from Spain without leaving the state.
