In Bachata Dominicana Copenhagen we teach dance styles from the Dominican Republic such as Bachata and Merengue with occasional inspiration from Bolero, Son Dominicano and Dembow. And we have a strong desire do share the roots and history of the dance we love, aswell as paying tribute to the culture it comes from.

We are a continuously growing, a diverse community with different nationalities and culture. We strive to make it a brave and inclusive place, with space for trial and error. You are encouraged to play and try things out to see what works best for you – whether you’d like to lead or follow, is up to you!\

Bachata Dominicana Copenhagen (BDC) was created by Lærke Birk in 2020. She did sporadic events while strongly affected by a global pandemic – in 2022 it became a joint adventure with Mette Larsen who then took over in 2023 when Lærke decided to retreat from the project (but with her continued support of the events and activities).

To keep our knowledge and inspiration fresh, we frequently participate in Dominican Festivals around the world as well as instructor courses and visiting the Island.

Hope to see you on the dance floor soon! 🕺💃
