DREAM is the preservation and continuation of bachata, a music of the Dominican barrios that is a staple of dance halls and Latin radio the world over. The Bachata Academy’s mission is to mentor a new generation of bachateros and bachateras, preparing them for careers as international artists and ambassadors of Dominican musical culture. Emphasizing improvisation, group playing, and ear training, the Academy resembles an intensive language program for music and encourages students to listen and express themselves musically. Academy students from 15 to 20 years old will join faculty to share their journey – and their music.
