NEW MEXICO'S BACHATA SCHOOL
Meet the Instructors
Cat & Adam (Blanquito Flo)
Miami, FL
Adam grew up in LA to a family of musicians. He fell in love with latin dancing and particularly with Bachata in 2018, when he first visited the DR. Since then, he’s returned to the island yearly, diving deeper into the culture, musicology, and history of the art form with each visit. His teaching style is focused on playfulness and cultural awareness.
Cat Gloria is a dance instructor from Miami. She specializes in teaching bachata, a street dance from the Dominican Republic, and heels. She has been dancing since age three and began teaching at age 16. She founded Back 2 Bachata, a DC events company to create spaces for authentic bachata. She currently teaches at events across the U.S. Her teaching style focuses on the essence and creativity of the dance.
Dancing Bachata has been a form of therapy, an artistic outlet, and a conduit for meaningful friendships and community in their lives. Together, Cat and Adam teach to help inspire confidence, creativity, and community through movement.
David Juarez
Houston, TX
David was born in Mexico City. He started his dance career through the Quinceñera’s surprise dances, and eventually formed a professional career in Classical Ballet and Contemporary dance completing his education Escuela Superior de Musica y Danza de Monterrey. In 2016, he decided to incorporate this knowledge into Latin rhythms, and began his competitions in the salsa and bachata genres.
He is currently recognized with some world championship titles as well as an international artist and judge in international competitions in countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Spain, and the Dominican Republic.
He believes dance is more than movement — it’s a way to build confidence, foster meaningful connections, and transform lives. Through teaching, events, and digital education, his mission is to make learning dance accessible, enjoyable, and impactful for people of all backgrounds.
