In this episode we have Brandon and Skye, founders of Bachata Addiction, who have been serving the dance community in Arizona for over eight years with education, venues, and events. We get into their approach to making social dancing events, the gap between artists and dancers, why it's hard to find venues in Phoenix, and how they've integrated Zouk and Kizomba into their socials. We also dive into the "sensual bachata epidemic"—why the closer you get, the more trained you should be—pop-up socials, pricing, the struggle of being a male lead in the beginning, and Skye on how to communicate correctly and deal with rejection. Golden nuggets for anyone running events or trying to grow a scene.
