Bachata Jack & Jill - NYC Instructor Competition 2023

A few weeks ago I participated in an “instructor bachata Jack & Jill” competition at the Bachateros Dímelo social hosted by Mike Gil and Desiree Godsell at KTown Dance Studio. The music was half modern & half traditional bachata, and the partners were selected at random from a hat. The best part of the whole competition was the camaraderie between the artists, and the love from the crowd. Everyone was excited to be a part of the competition, share some of their talents, and cheer on their peers, and that was really special.

The competitors included, in order of appearance in this video:

1: Daniel Collins & Desiree Godsell

2: Sael Nuñez & Monique Richard

3: Watson Saintsulne & Vanessa Lopes

4: Valentina Giovannini & Serena Spears

5: Dani Cabrera & Brandon Johnson

6: Ismael Otero & Annette Gonzalez

7: Brian “El Matatan” & Ana Sofía Dallal

Who was your favorite couple? Were you feeling the sentimiento of their traditional footwork, or sweating from the heat in their sensual waves and dips? Show them some love in the comments and let them know why they were the best!
