Sensual Movement
The instructors who teach it, the DJs who play it, and the dancers who perform it — across New York, Miami, Orlando, San Diego, Spain, Poland and Argentina. Everyone is on this page. No hunting through three sub-pages to find a name.

New York City

Michigan
A movement artist from Ukraine who trained in hip-hop and pantomime before moving to the US in 2017. Now in the MSU BFA Dance program, studying modern and ballet, and performing with Sensual Movement across the festival circuit.

Miami
Becky started social dancing in Miami in 2015 and went looking for technique in 2019 — specifically to help people dance socially rather than competitively. Her style blends bachata from Spain, zouk from Brazil and salsa.
@brunoybeckyofficial
Miami
Colombian, and five years into a dance journey that began by learning salsa, bachata, kizomba and zouk all at once. Known for the connection she builds with a partner on a social floor; teaches across the USA, Cancún and Medellín.
@sof__b
San Diego
Kat was raised in Guatemala and came from ballet and contemporary; Josue is from Detroit and came from breaking and hip hop. Both trained in ballroom. Their teaching centres on making a room where dancers can experiment safely.

Orlando
They have travelled repeatedly to Cádiz — where sensual bachata started — to train with its founders Korke y Judith, and hold a Gold-level teaching certification from Daniel & Desiree.
@AYJBACHATA
Spain
Spanish champions in 2010, European champions in 2011, world champions in 2012. Arguably the most widely known bachata couple working today, and the pair who did most to define sensual bachata as a style.

Spain
Marco Espejo Nuñez is Peruvian, raised on traditional Peruvian dance and saxophone before moving to Huelva at 18. Sara Panero is from Salamanca and trained in classical ballet at the Conservatorio Fortea in Madrid.

Resident · alternating Wednesdays and Fridays
Went deep into Dominican music and stayed there. Cites DJ Alex Sensation, DJ Aneudy and DJ Lobo as the people who built the road he is on. Latin is the core, but he ranges well outside it.
@djwilliwillElite dancers
Eleven dancers on the Sensual Movement performance team. Their profile pages carry a photograph and an Instagram link and nothing else — so their handles are here, where they are actually useful.
Applications
Sensual Movement takes applications for both the artist roster and the elite dancer team. Both forms are already on the site — they are just hard to find from anywhere except the bottom of a sub-page.
