Franky (El Suave)

Reinaldo Ventura

With about 12 years of experience as a Dominican Bachata instructor, Reinaldo's passion began when he was 6 years old. His style is a unique mix of intricacy mixed with flavor and class. We cannot wait for you to train with Reinaldo on this Escape!

Ana Saldaña

Pablo will be teaching us about the various instruments of Bachata to help improve your understanding of what is happening within the music.
