Came here from Google? Or did a friend recommend you this page? Great! Let’s skip my boring dance story that no one reads and get you the info you need.

Last updated: March 2023 (I’ll add more as I learn about new events — message me if you’d like to add/edit your event @tamphambachata)

Grupo Esencia México

Grupo Esencia México is my favorite group to dance with. The teachers are highly technical, super fun, and are trained by the famous bachata partners, Marco y Sara from Spain.

They have classes for all levels in beautiful Parque México.

  • Wednesdays — Bachata at 6:30pm
  • Saturday & Sunday — Salsa at 12pm and Bachata at 1pm

Address: Parque México, Av México s/n, Hipódromo, Cuauhtémoc, 06100 Ciudad de México, CDMX

If you’ve never been to Parque México before, find the main quad, and go to the hallway surrounding the quad. Listen for loud bachata music and look for their giant banners that say “Grupo Esencia”

There’s usually a social directly after classes to practice what you just learned. It is lovely to dance in the park with the beautiful sun shining down.
