👤 About Ramon Brito

Ramon Brito is a Dominican dancer and instructor with deep roots in Dominican dance culture, shaped between New York and Santiago in the Dominican Republic. His dancing carries the richness of traditional bachata, infused with influences from Dominican folkloric movement, Latin dance, and subtle urban grooves—resulting in a style that feels grounded, musical, and deeply expressive.

Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ramon travels across Europe sharing his passion for authentic bachata. He is also the organizer of the Bachata Como Eh Festival, a celebration of traditional Dominican bachata that brings dancers together around music, culture, and social connection—an event that a group from Bachata Dominicana Copenhagen will travel to in October 2026.

Ramon’s classes are known for their warm, relaxed atmosphere and clear teaching. Rather than focusing on memorized patterns, he helps dancers truly understand the music—how to listen, feel, and let it naturally guide their movement. Dancers often leave his classes feeling more confident, connected, and inspired to enjoy bachata in its most authentic form.

🎶 What is Bachata Dominicana?
Bachata is a traditional music and dance from the Dominican Republic, rooted in Afro-Caribbean rhythms, storytelling, and social connection. Dominican-style bachata emphasizes footwork, musical play, and improvisation—less about patterns, more about feeling the music and enjoying the moment.
