It’s time for a proper introduction! 👋🏽✨

I'm David, and for over 14 years, movement has been my native tongue, with Bachata becoming my true heartbeat. 💓

My journey has taken me across borders and through incredible milestones. I had the privilege of opening and running my own dance studio in Mexico 🇲🇽 before making the big move here to immerse myself and grow within a new dance community.

Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into performing and competing, which recently led to the huge honor of winning first at the Jack and Jill in Miami this year! 🏆 But as much as I love the stage, my absolute favorite place to be is right in the middle of the social floor. For me, dancing is all about smooth movement, deep connection, and pure joy.

Now, we are entering an exciting new chapter. 🚀 I am officially expanding! I am beyond thrilled to announce my official dance partnership with Kaitie. Together, we are combining our unique backgrounds and energies to bring a fresh dynamic to the floor, and we can't wait to share this next part of our journey with all of you.

Whether you're looking to learn, perform, or just share a dance on the social floor, there is a place for you here. Let’s grow, learn, and dance together. Drop a 💃🕺 in the comments to say hi, or send me a DM!

✨ Two unique paths, one powerful synergy. ✨

When two distinct dance backgrounds collide, the real magic happens on the floor. We are beyond excited to officially introduce our new dance partnership! We’ve combined our individual journeys, styles, and passions to bring a powerful synergy to the dance community.
Allow us to properly introduce ourselves... 👇
👋 Meet Kaitie
With over two decades dedicated to the art of movement, Kaitie found her ultimate calling in Bachata over a decade ago. For the past 7 years, she has been the driving force behind her performance teams, guiding dancers to elevate their stage presence and artistry. Her teaching philosophy is anchored in her vast movement experience. She builds her classes on a solid foundation of traditional bachata, beautifully branching out into modern fusions. Her goal is always the same: to help dancers master their own body mechanics while truly embodying the emotion and rhythm of the music.
👋 Meet David
David’s dance journey spans over 14 years, deeply rooted in both Salsa and Bachata. Before relocating, he successfully built and managed his own dance academy in Mexico 🇲🇽, bringing that same leadership and passion to his new community here. Still, his greatest joy is found in social dancing. David is renowned for his effortlessly smooth lead, his ability to foster a genuine connection with his partner, and his radiant energy. He’s the dancer who refuses to leave the floor until the very last song, spreading happiness and good vibes to everyone he dances with.
🚀 What’s Next?
Now, we are stepping into an exciting new era together. By blending Kaitie’s structured, musical foundation with David’s smooth, joyful, and deeply connected social energy, we are bringing a powerful synergy to everything we do.
Whether it’s through workshops, performances, team training, or just sharing a dance at the social, we are so ready for what’s next.
We can’t wait to share this journey with all of you.
Drop a 💃🕺 in the comments to celebrate with us, and make sure to follow @davidandfoxbachata and both of our pages so you don't miss out on our upcoming classes, events, and socials!

It’s time for a proper introduction! 👋🏽✨

I'm The Dancing Fox, aka Kaitie. Hi!

For over 20 years, dance has been my words and my breath. But for the last 10+ of those years, Bachata has been my heartbeat. 💓

What started as a fun thing to do on the weekends quickly turned into a lifelong journey. Over the last 7 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of directing and running performance teams, watching dancers grow not just in their technique, but in their confidence and connection to the music.

Backed by hundreds of hours of training across multiple styles, my journey began with authentic, rooted bachata before expanding into various fusion styles, from ConRi to Sensual. As a proudly ConRi Bachata certified instructor, this diverse foundation shapes my approach: blending authentic technique, deep musicality, and the true feeling of the dance.

Now, we are entering a new chapter. 🚀 I am officially expanding! I am beyond thrilled to announce the official partnership with David, my amazing dance partner. We've been working hard behind the scenes, and together, we are bringing a powerful new synergy to the floor and can't wait to share our journey with all of you.

Whether you are stepping onto the social floor for the very first time, or you're a seasoned dancer looking to refine your movement, there is a place for you here.

Let’s grow, learn, and dance together. Follow us @davidandfoxbachata , drop a 💃🏻🕺🏻 to celebrate with us, and send me a DM to get started!

If you can't move by yourself, you can't move with a partner.

In our classes we challenge our students with new solo work before going into partnerwork. Why? A few reasons!

1️⃣ It trains skills necessary for partnerwork without the pressure of leading and following.
2️⃣ It trains balance and teaches body movement.
3️⃣ It challenges memory and choreo retention.

Do you train solo? How does it impact your partner dancing?
