The LA Bachazouk Festival is a Los Angeles-based bachata dance festival where top artists from around the world will come to teach and share their passion for the new dance style of Bachazouk.

The Festival will last from March 18-21, 2027. See our schedule page for more info on class and social start times. The final schedule will be uploaded closer to the event.

This is not just another festival bringing the same idol artists as have come to the US every year. We specifically chose next-generation artists that are well-known in their local communities for being strong instructors with good technique and are excellent social dancers. We have multiple Jack and Jill champions and world champion judges in our lineup including.

This event is about bringing top level talent to help you level-up your dance skills and specifically teach you the techniques you need to build your Bachazouk foundation.

Our event is located at Aesthetic Dance Studios in Sherman Oaks, California. The venue can fit up to 500 people dancing and has pristine floors, mirrors and premium air conditioning and free parking!

No, you don’t need zouk experience to enjoy the classes or socials. While zouk experience is helpful for the classes, it is not a requirement to attend. All our artists are trained in Brazilian Zouk and will give you the tools you need to add Bachazouk to your repertoire. At the socials, people will be dancing a mix of Dominican, Sensual, Urban and Bachazouk, so there is no need to know how to dance only one style.

Yes, there will be tickets to enter the socials at the door. The Classes however will likely not have space by the time the event comes around and tickets to get a spot in the classes should be purchased in advance before they sell out.

This event is a 100% bachata so only bachata music will be played at the socials. A mix of modern sensual songs and classics will be played leaning more towards the current popular hits. We make sure to play songs people want to hear that are easier to dance to or are familiar. Artists that will be prominently featured in the DJ sets include:

Prince Royce, Romeo Santos, Pinto Picasso, Dani J, JR, Dimelo Cupido, Shama, Sebas Garetta, Charles Luis, Montelier, Mayinbito, Jensen, Ronny Dae and Jalil Lopez among others.

Rest assured that bad remixes are illegal at these socials and will not be tolerated.

You must purchase a ticket that includes the Saturday evening social to enter the Jack and Jill Competition. Make sure you purchase the right ticket for either lead or follow depending on what role you want to compete in. Full Pass, Party Pass, Saturday Day & Night Pass, and Saturday Social passes all include the social.

Yes! We have full passes, party passes, masterclasses and evening passes still available–– but we always sell out! Don’t wait to get your ticket
