Bachata Sensual, one of the most known dance styles, was born with them more than 15 years ago.
Korke and Judith have been the creators of this dance style, they have dedicated their lives to the study and development of the technique that defines this characteristic style.
“Bachata Sensual is studied so deeply, all movements are organic and have a reason to be that way, we have dedicated ourselves to study the biomechanics of the human body to be able to develop all the movements”
Bachata Sensual was born in Cádiz when Korke wanted to perform music in a different way, he interpreted the instruments with longer movements and dissociations, in order to reach a greater body expression, trying to find the balance to not underestimate the origins and preserve the essence of the traditional bachata.
It was not until Judith, an experienced dancer, arrived that Korke’s ideas finally evolved and created what is known today as Bachata Sensual.
“We have our own style, but we not only want people to learn how to dance like us, our methodology is created so that they understand each movement. And so the dancers can continue evolving and creating their own style”

Korke
Korke was born in 1979 in Cadiz, Spain. He has always been athletic training in kick boxing and martial arts growing up. Korke is a very analytical, musical and a creative soul with a great eye for details. A movie called “Dance with me” sparked his interest in Salsa at the age of 19. Two years later he discovered the basic steps of Bachata. With no more information than the basic step (four steps to the side) and the bachata music, he STARTED developing his own dance style. It was a time without social media, so he was forced to make his own moves and turn patterns. Korke’s goal is to make bachata a universal “dance language” meaning that his students will learn how to lead anything, on any girl, anywhere. “I don’t want you to dance like me, I want you to dance better than your teacher. Only if you reach that level, I can grow.” – Korke In 2002, he started teaching his first bachata class. In 2004, he taught his first class in a festival called “Pura Salsa Bahia Sur”. Korke became the director of a salsa show team called “Dancing Dragons” in 2006, where his current dance partner Judith also danced.
