Bachata Sensual Bootcamp - The Don & Nadia Alvarado Damian Guzman (The Don) is best known for his social dancing admiration and focus thru the world. During his childhood in Puerto Rico, he developed a special passion for salsa and bachata Carribbean-style. This passion led him to take his skills beyond the Caribbean style feeling to a more technical level since 2006. In 2011, he developed a special passion for Bachata Sensual which led him to pursue further understanding of this emerging style of bachata developed in Europe leading him to further training and dancing in Spain, France, Italy, and Germany becoming one of the first Bachata Sensual dancers in the United States. Eventually, his love and passion for this dance also led him to train to become one of the first certified bachata sensual instructors in the United States. The Don is also the founder of The MOB Dancers Group which comprises over 6,000 dancers in the US focused on Salsa & Bachata Social Dancing. As a dancer and DJ he has taught and shared his love for Bachata all around the world including over 90 dance Congresses thru the United States, England, Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Russia, Vietnam, Australia, and Aventura Dance Cruise, The Largest Latin Dance Cruise in The World. Nadia Alvarado is Chicago’s Lady Sith of Bachata. Born in Venezuela and raised in Nicaragua, this sensual bachata guru possesses all the Latin spice you need. She began taking dance lessons and learned all her basics in Montreal, Canada. She was later reunited with dance in 2007 in Indianapolis, IN. She continued her training then, making sure she learned from well known and respected Latin Dance professionals. In 2011, she opened her own Latin dance studio. After 3 years, leaving behind an increasingly successful studio, she moved to Chicago to continue her dance training. In 2015, she was offered a position at Latin Rhythms as a dance instructor. She has performed and taught Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Boogaloo and of course Bachata all over the U.S. including several Salsa & Bachata Congresses. Nadia is known for being a light follow and a very musical dancer. She loves to be both elegant and sensual as a fallow; but also enjoys the intricacies of leading. Most of all, she is serious about sharing her knowledge about and love for dance with her students. Tickets (For the social only) are $10 flat rate- no pre-sale rate. Cash accepted at the door.
