Bachata Sensual Orlando

BSO Latin Dance teaches bachata, salsa, and related styles across two locations: the flagship studio in Fern Park (Orlando area) and weekly classes in Tampa. Founded on the belief that dance has the power to transform lives, the studio has grown from a small community of passionate dancers into Central Florida's destination for Latin dance education.

Classes run at all levels, from Bachata Foundations (level 1) through Bachata Infinity (level 3), plus Sensual Bachata, Sensual Foundations, Bachata Tradicional, Lady Style, and Salsa. The studio also offers Bachata Solo Dance, Body Movement & Footwork, and unconventional classes like Galactic Yoga, Contemporary Hip-Hop, and Beginner Heels. Progressive Programs are structured 12-week cycles designed to take you from zero to confident social dancer; new cycles start October 5. Drop-in classes run Wednesday through Sunday with no commitment required.

The Orlando flagship studio offers classes Monday through Sunday. Mondays are dedicated to progressive programs. Tuesday hosts team auditions. Wednesday through Thursday and Friday through Sunday feature drop-in classes, with Friday also including socials. Saturday and Sunday drop-ins run 12–6 PM. Tampa offers Bachata Foundations, Body Movement & Footwork, and Sensual Foundations on Thursdays (7:00–9:30 PM) with instructors Anastasia Starbarbie and Jovanny Fuentes.

The team includes bachata specialists Fabiola Santos (focused on Dominican-style movement), Anastasia Starbarbie (international sensual bachata instructor and lady style director), Christian Hines, and many others.

Drop-in classes cost $20 per class or as low as $5 per class with a membership.
