Sydney Bachata Festival 09 - Event Review
Combine the rhythm that is Bachata with, 24 workshops, 19 national and international instructors, 90+ performers, 600 (per night) party go-ers, a tonne of fun, buckets of sweat, lots of excitement, hundreds of “Bachata Me” t-shirts and of course, 4 boys from Miami with amazing voices and you have the perfect recipe for a successful 2009 Sydney International Bachata Festival.
With this event debuting in 2008, the Bachata community have spent 364 days eagerly awaiting to see what the Bachata Festival Team had install for them this year, and i think it is safe to say that this year’s event exceeded all expectations and left wanting more once the event was over because of its success.

But it is so good when he throws a couple of basics in his dancing and that is valid for any style.
