BachaZouk provides cultural immersion, allowing learners to explore Dominican roots, Lambada origins, and the merger of these distinct forms.

The fusion between Bachata and Brazilian Zouk emerged around 2014 as a result of the dance community's desire to blend two styles they were passionate about. Initially referred to as "Zoukchata," this fusion found its early footing in events that featured both dance forms. These events played a crucial role in nurturing this blend by creating spaces where dancers could learn and enjoy both styles simultaneously.
After the 2020 pandemic, Chesco Leveratto was the first to pioneer and establish the BachaZouk brand by organizing workshops and events starting in July 2022. As the creator of the BachaZouk community name, Chesco put his efforts into creating a future where Brazilian Zouk would become increasingly integrated within the Bachata fusion community. As the fusion evolved, the term "BachaZouk" gained popularity, reflecting the growing recognition and interest of Brazilian Zouk among fusion Bachata dancers.
The promotion of BachaZouk is driven by a long-term vision to establish spaces where dancers passionate about both styles can come together, fostering a vibrant, diverse dance community that embraces the unique qualities of both Bachata and Brazilian Zouk. This unified approach not only preserves the individual essence of each dance but also opens up new possibilities for creative expression and cultural exchange.
As BachaZouk continues to captivate dancers worldwide, it remains true to its roots - a passionate fusion born from the love of both Bachata and Brazilian Zouk, promising a rich tapestry of movement, music, and community for dancers around the globe.
