I purchased a prepaid membership with Bachata Denver based on the schedule and structure that were advertised at the time. Several months later, the class schedule and locations changed significantly. I asked whether a partial refund could be considered given those changes, but was told refunds are not offered under their policy.
My bigger issue, however, was the quality and structure of the classes themselves. There was little sense of progression and very limited focus on fundamentals or the mechanical details that actually help people improve. Classes often felt loosely organized, and when students struggled with technique the most common advice was simply to “practice at home.” For a paid instructional program, I expected more direct coaching and clearer skill development.
Another practical consideration is the class demographic. If you are a man considering joining, be aware that the classes are heavily male-skewed. In many sessions it felt like roughly 90–95% men, which meant a lot of time either waiting to rotate or practicing without a partner.
The community around bachata in Denver can be friendly and social. But if you’re looking for structured instruction, clear progression, and balanced partner practice, this school may not meet those expectations.

Bachata Denver is seriously the best. All the instructors ( Pierre, Alejandra, Oscar, Uriel, and Kalisha ) are amazing in their own way. They make the classes fun, easy to follow, and super welcoming no matter your level.
When I first started, I barely knew the basics, but now I actually feel confident dancing. The vibe here is always good energy, good people, and great music. If you’re thinking about learning Bachata (or Salsa), this is 100% the place to go.

I’m a student here for over a year now. My bachata skills have improved significantly despite attending only the Tuesday classes. The instructors are very good and the community is lovely. I’m always excited about the next class.

This studio is such a great studio, with highly knowledgeable and patient instructors. The community is amazing, respectful leads and lots of new skill sets are learnt each class. I drive from Boulder and it’s worth sitting in traffic. Come check it out!

I’ve been taking classes at Bachata Denver for a few months now and I really enjoy it, The vibe is super fun and welcoming just good energy and great music. The instructors explain things in a way that actually makes sense, and they really help you feel more confident on the dance floor.
I started as a total beginner and now I’m not only dancing Bachata, but I’ve even tried Salsa and footwork classes too.
