Come celebrate 12 years of Bachata in the ‘Burgh with For the Love of Bachata!!
Back in February 2013, Jessica Taylor created the Facebook page for her now well-known and well-loved company in an attempt to get her local Pittsburgh Latin dance community to love Bachata more. Before this time, Bachata was still played, but only 2-3 songs a night. Thanks to OG dancers, instructors, performers, and promoters like Catherine Griffin, Beto Ayala, Sonny Moyer, Olga Rydsik, and Loyal Martinez, Jessica’s love for Bachata had something to build on.
And 12 years later, FTLOB has turned its focus to the roots of Bachata, brought talented instructors and artists to Pittsburgh, began offering weekly classes, takes dancers to experience Bachata in its culture, and is still fulfilling its original plan: spreading the love of Bachata.
This is a 1-day bash meant to inspire and invigorate you without taking a toll on your energy stores.
