What an amazing weekend! We want to give a special shout out to the gifted, and amazing soul .dances for sharing space, and hosting the wonderful and talented . your class was a breath of fresh air, reminding us to stay grounded in the roots/ flow of bachata 🙏🏾🇩🇴
Happy Labor Day. Here is the September lineup for our classes at Viscount and Lines. (Note the time change at Viscount!)
For socials this month: We are waiting to hear from Aztecs if our 2nd Friday will still be happening. We will keep you posted. Please see our precious post for the gofundme to support Aztecs in their time of need!
We are in Eugene for the 19-21 at the Bachata Weekender, but if you're staying in town, Casa Maya will still be happening on the 19th! Drop in lesson will be Kizomba, but at the social DJ Panaflex will be spinning great traditional Bachata and Kizomba!
Take good care of one another, both on and off the dance floor. Hope to see you soon!

Please help the Cardoso family if you're able. Losing this institution would be such a devastating blow for the dance community.
It's been an honor for us to teach at Aztecs these past couple of years we've lived in Portland. With over 20 years of history in the community, and where many Portlanders got their start social dancing--Let's come together and make it many more.

These workshops with Edwin and Dakhóta are going to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Beyond the dance steps, they share such wisdom of the histories and music that shape bachata. Truly next level!
