Today, he is a product of his immense love for bachata and his desire to continuously improve his dance. His style is classic, soft, and full of expressions that respect the accents of the music. You will have the great opportunity to experience and to become infected with this wonderful style. Juan currently resides in Baltimore, Maryland, where he continues to contribute to the growth of classic bachata dance with his wife, Melanie. He and Melanie, has taught at many events including the Baltimore Salsa and Bachata Congress, FTLOB in Pittsburgh, Bachata Saturday in NYC, and Passionate in NC. At his own school 'Bachata Fix RD', originally founded in his hometown in the DR, he now teaches weekly classes across the greater Baltimore Metropolitan area. Come and be part of this wonderful event. "Bachateame Mami".
