Bachata Level 1

I've take 4 courses at Piel Canela so far and I strongly recommend. It's a good bang for your buck (if you get the groupon), so you can practice multiple times a week with different instructors.

It was a TERRIBLE experience and did not attend all classes. The Teacher was nice enough but the management was awful and ruins the class. CANCELS, OVERCROWDING AND DISORGANIZED. My wife and I work hard, and were really looking forward to a romantic time learning how to dance together... No such Luck... First Week -- Class was CANCELLED with NO NOTIFICATION. my wife and I got very excited and went to the class. The person registering just simply said "oh the website shows that it cancelled earlier"... BUT NO ONE TOLD US THAT WE SHOULD CHECK IT... And, my wife and I still wanted to continue the date night and rather than apologizing for the oversight and charged us full price for a different class.... Strike 1 2nd week -- We arrived 10minutes early. We tried to get the card to sign in... BUT, 1 person was working and completely overwhelmed. She didn't have our information at all. Rather than just immediately helping us, she pushed us from the front of the line to the back, fill out all this paperwork (ones that we already completed when signing up for the class!), This took 30 MINS.... So, our "First" class of bachata started 20minutes late for us. We tried to make the best of it and went to the class. The teacher spent the rest of the class highlighting our late arrival and targeting us. Unfortunately, rather than targeting us and helping us w/ the steps she just asked us personal questions. The classroom was also OVERCROWDED. Bumped into people with every other motion. 3rd week -- we arrived 30minutes early this time.... STILL NO CARDS?! No Records that purchased it. Thankfully this time we didn't have to write too much and no wait.. Third time we went there... Obviously, little concern over the attendees... The class itself? Bleh! SMALL ROOM, OVERCROWDED, and Hot/Sweaty/smelly. It must have been the 3rd consecutive class in there. It was THICK in scent of humans. Again, constantly bumped into people. Poor management, it's as if they had no maximum capacity for the class and decided to just push as many people in as possible..... by the 4th week, we had enough. Tired of the nonsense w/ registration and tired of the overcrowding.

I loved this Bachata class so much! I've never taken Bachata class before, but I am already in love with the dance! I've watched countless videos of people dancing Bachata and I am so glad I finally signed up for a class. Can't wait to continue my journey of Bachata dancing!!!
