Where Technical Precision Meets Social Soul

At Embassy Dance, we believe that partner dancing is more than just steps—it is a language of connection, confidence, and fluid expression. Founded by Mariela Gonzalez, a professional dancer with a deep foundation in classical ballet, our academy brings a unique level of technical excellence to the world of social dance.

We specialize in Fusion Bachata, a modern evolution that honors the authentic roots of Dominican Bachata while integrating the smooth, emotive flows of Sensual Bachata and contemporary movement.

SENSUAL AND FUSION BACHATA

Sensual bachata is a style of dance and music that originated from traditional Dominican bachata. It's characterized by smooth, sensual movements, and intimate connections between partners. This style focuses on expressing emotions through fluid movements, often emphasizing the rhythm and musicality of the music.

Mariela Gonzalez' style, which blends Dominican and sensual elements bring this dance likely features romantic and sensual movements, highlighting the emotional connection with her partner and the music.

Fusion Bachata is a modern evolution of the traditional Dominican dance that blends the authentic footwork of Dominican Bachata with elements from other dance styles like Sensual Bachata, hip-hop, contemporary, and ballroom.

It is designed to be highly versatile, allowing dancers to adapt their movements to various styles of music, from traditional bolero-style tracks to modern "remixes" of pop and R&B songs.
