Knoxville Bachata Experience FestivalAugust 21-23, 2026 • Knoxville, Tennessee
Get ready to make history at the first-ever Bachata Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee! This August, join us for an unforgettable celebration of the rich culture, evolution, and passion of Bachata—from its traditional Dominican roots to sensual and new styles shaping the global scene.
Experience an incredible weekend featuring over 15 world-class instructors (pending visa approvals for all international artists), at least 3 exclusive masterclasses, and 20+ workshops to choose from—taught by the next generation of the most sought-after artists from both Europe and the U.S. Whether you’re just beginning your Bachata journey or refining your advanced technique, there’s something for every level, with concurrent workshops ranging from beginner/open level in one ballroom to intermediate, advanced, and masterclass sessions in another ballroom. All artists will be teaching at least one class in each room, so no matter what level you are in your dance journey, you'll have access to ALL of these amazing instructors!
Each night, dance the night away at our socials, where you’ll connect with dancers from all over and enjoy the vibrant Knoxville Bachata community. Each social will have a fun theme! We hope you'll participate in them!
Feeling competitive? Step into the spotlight and test your skills in our Open Level Jack & Jill Contest! Prizes will be announced closer to the event date.
Want to take your learning to the next level? Book private lessons with your favorite artists and get personalized guidance to accelerate your growth.
All of this takes place in beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee, just minutes from hotels, restaurants, and only a 15-minute drive from Downtown Knoxville. There's even FREE Parking at the Festival Venue
