Bachata Madrid Step (Lateral Step) Workshop: 3-4PM

– For Advanced Beginners & Intermediate Dancers

Refine your flow, elevate your partner work, and master one of the most important steps in modern bachata.

This one-hour specialty workshop is designed for advanced beginner and intermediate bachata dancers who are ready to add precision, confidence, and style to their dancing through the Madrid Step (also known as the Lateral Step).

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✅ Partner connection – This is a partner work-focused workshop (rotating partners encouraged). You’ll practice lead/follow dynamics to help execute the step in social dancing.

✅ Explore variations – We’ll start with the basic Madrid/Lateral Step and level up with two additional stylistic variations, giving you options for different songs, energies, and styles—from traditional to sensual to urban bachata.

✅ Why it matters – The Madrid Step is a must-know intermediate move that shows up across styles of bachata. It’s fun, dynamic, and essential for dancers looking to grow beyond the basics.

Bonus: Guest assistant instructor Allie will be supporting follows during this workshop to help you fine-tune the details in real time.

No partner required. Come ready to learn, rotate, and elevate your bachata.

About Your Instructor

Tiffany was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where she developed a deep connection to the Latin community. About three and a half years ago, she discovered salsa, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion.

Her dedication to salsa allowed her to learn and grow rapidly, dancing throughout the DMV and absorbing everything she could about the craft. Tiffany remembers what it was like to be a beginner—navigating the struggles of learning the steps, understanding the music, and building confidence. With everything she has learned, she is now focused on streamlining the process to make salsa more accessible, understandable, and attainable for new dancers.

Tiffany has also developed the unique ability to dance as both a lead and a follow, allowing her to understand both perspectives of the dance. This enables her to teach in a way that resonates with all dancers, no matter which role they choose.

The joy, connection, and sense of community Tiffany found in salsa were unmatched, inspiring her to give back. Now, as an instructor in Baltimore, she is driven to help others experience the same excitement and fulfillment that salsa has brought to her life.
