Robert & Kira — Bachata

Who we are

Two dancers, one conversation

We are Robert & Kira, a bachata dance couple based in Lisbon, Portugal. Passionate about social dancing, teaching, and continuous growth, we combine technique, musicality, connection, and creativity to help dancers enjoy every moment on the dance floor.

We believe the best dancing comes from clear communication, trust, and genuine connection. Through our classes, workshops, and performances, we create a welcoming environment where dancers can build confidence, develop their own style, and truly enjoy the journey.

Robert

Robert is passionate about musicality, styling, and self-expression. He constantly explores different dance styles and incorporates their concepts into bachata, helping dancers become more versatile, creative, and authentic. As an active social dancer, he has earned awards at numerous social dance competitions, bringing both experience and fresh inspiration to his teaching.

Kira

Kira specializes in technique, movement principles, and the mechanics of leading and following. With extensive experience in both dancing and teaching, she has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into clear, practical ideas that students can immediately apply on the social dance floor. Her structured approach helps dancers build strong fundamentals, confidence, and lasting progress.

How we teach

Fewer patterns, better dances

What makes us different is our practical and student-focused approach. We don't teach choreography for the sake of choreography — we teach skills that make social dancing feel natural, comfortable, and enjoyable. Our goal is to help every dancer understand why a movement works, not just how to copy it.

Feedback

What changes after a class

“Today was my first social where I didn't come in panic, but eager to practice everything we discussed in class. What you achieved with me in one hour is priceless.”

“You really managed to press the switch button in my brain. Before the first class it was a mix of panic and frustration.”

“Incredibly precise, with a lot of technical knowledge. Their observations were detailed and clinical — they helped us understand what is happening in our dance.”
