Emily & Tonnam are internationally recognized Bachata Sensual artists, instructors, and Ambassadors of Bachata Sensual America. They have taught at top festivals throughout the United States and around the world, including Spain, France, Taiwan, Mexico, and Canada. Trained by the creators of Bachata Sensual, Korke & Judith, as well as renowned artists Pablo & Raquel, they remain committed to continual growth, training, and innovation in their dance. Their teaching methodology emphasizes strong technique while keeping classes engaging and enjoyable, helping students build skills they can immediately apply to their social dancing.

Yurley & Diego are Bachata artists and instructors originally from Colombia, now based in Denver, Colorado, and the founders of Dynamic Bachata Fusion Dance Company. Known for their dynamic approach, they train dancers in a wide range of current bachata styles—including sensual, modern, bachata zouk, and new generation—always staying aligned with the evolution of the scene. While they have earned recognition through strong results in Jack & Jill competitions, their main passion is developing confident, high-level social dancers. Their teaching emphasizes connection, musicality, and continuous growth, while building a welcoming community where dancers feel supported and inspired.

Christian Hines is an international bachata dancer and an instructor at BSO. He is known for his musical sensitivity, playfulness, and expressive style, blending hip hop and urban influences with bachata. His recent accolades include 1st place at the NY Sensual Movement Jack and Jill competition in the Pro Advanced category and 3rd place at Sensual Movement Miami.

As a teacher, his goal is simple: make dance fun, educational, and unapologetically unique to YOU. His classes blend structure with freedom, creating a space where dancers learn technique and outward expression.

Joanie and Stephen are Santa Fe–based Bachata and Salsa instructors with over two decades of combined teaching experience. Their approach emphasizes grounded technique that supports playful, connected social dancing.
