How did you get into learning Salsa and Bachata in Singapore?

I have always loved music and dance, as a child I wanted to learn Bharatanatyam but was in a boarding school and couldn’t continue. Growing up I kept seeing different forms of dance, every dance is unique in its own way but I loved Salsa and Bachata instantaneously, I think is it such a expressive form of dance with such elegant and compassionate movements of the body , when I watch the dance I feel the strong emotions and through the movements.

Bachata is my favorite class; it relaxes my mind and helps me connect to my feelings. At the end of a long day it helps me relax, when I focus on the music my body moves to the music subconsciously
