Listen in as he tells you how he made it happen and what exactly made it such a life changing experience for him.

Step behind the music and into the conversations that shape the global Bachata scene with Backstage-The Bachata Podcast. Hosted by Kevin y Nika, who took over from the original hosts Lucie and Yann, this series is built for dancers, musicians, and enthusiasts who feel the rhythm beyond the dance floor. Each episode pulls back the curtain, offering a microphone to the artists who create the songs, the teachers who break down the movements, and the organizers who build the events that bring us all together. You’ll hear personal stories, technical insights, and honest discussions about the challenges and joys within the community. This isn't just about steps; it's about the people and the passion that fuel Bachata's evolution. By tuning in, you join a deeper dialogue that connects social dancers everywhere. The podcast thrives on these varied perspectives, ensuring every conversation adds a new layer to your understanding and appreciation of the art form.
