AVAILABLE FOR: Bachata dance classes
Contact: IG@nami3012, 7718903714
Namita Shah and Abhishek Giri met on a dance floor three years ago, and turned that spark into a Bachata dance business. Teaching in Andheri with plans to expand to Khar, the duo offers group and private sessions in various Bachata styles — traditional, sensual, and modern. Bachata, rooted in the Dominican Republic, is a partner dance that celebrates rhythm, connection, and improvisation over choreography. Their eight-session course, held twice a week, introduces students to the fundamentals, encouraging confidence and expression through movement.
RECOMMENDED BY: Raj — Best Bachata teachers to learn from. I’m a beginner with no prior experience, and Abhishek put me at ease. They are fun people and extremely skilled. They make learning fun and you just can’t get enough of it.
