My journey with bachata began in the spring of 2018 in Amsterdam, where I started learning both salsa and bachata. While both dance styles attracted me, it was the rhythm and soul of bachata music that truly had my heart. Within a few months, I found myself drawn exclusively to bachata classes, immersing myself in bachata steps and passionate music.
The more I danced, the more I connected with the vibrant bachata community. My newfound friends and I decided to attend our first bachata festival in Belgium in 2018. This experience was transformative, the energy of the performances, the diversity of workshops, and the exhilaration of the parties deepened my love for bachata. I became a bachata addict, eagerly participating in workshops and bootcamps across the Netherlands and Europe, learning from renowned instructors and improving my bachata dancing skills.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought an abrupt halt to our dancing endeavours. However, once restrictions eased in 2021, I re-entered the bachata world with renewed enthusiasm, attending festivals and expanding my network of bachateros globally. Yet, I soon realized that bachata had taken over most of my life. My dedication to dance started affecting my professional and personal commitments. To regain balance, I took a two-month BREAK from bachata and social media. This break was crucial in helping me realign my priorities and rejuvenate my passion for dance.
With a wealth of experiences and insights from various festivals, I felt a strong desire to contribute back to the bachata community. Inspired by the diverse elements of the festivals I had attended and infused with a unique Indian touch, I conceptualized "BINDAAS Bachata" in December 2022. The vision was to create an event that combined the essence of bachata with unique concepts and creating memorable experience for everyone.
In March 2023, BINDAAS Bachata became a reality. Our inaugural event received overwhelming appreciation, quickly establishing a reputation for excellence in the Netherlands and beyond. BINDAAS Bachata is not just an event; itβs a celebration of community, culture, and the unifying power of dance. Our journey is ongoing, and we are excited to continue bringing exceptional bachata experiences to dancers everywhere.
BINDAAS is an Indian slang, which has multiple meanings such as carefree, fearless , freedom, independent, cool, relaxed, confident chill etc. It's often used to describe a lively, enthusiastic, or confident attitude. When paired with "bachata," it means fun, carefree, and vibrant approach to the dance or event.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just starting out, we invite you to join us at BINDAAS Bachata events and be part of our vibrant community. Let's dance, learn, and celebrate together!

Bachata Beats - BINDAAS Bliss
πΆ My Journey with Music, Dance, and Now DJing πΆ
Music has always been an integral part of my life, whether itβs modern beats, urban vibes, classical melodies, or creative remixes. From my childhood, I was mesmerised by the rhythm and soul of music. I remember immersing myself in countless Indian tunes, even amidst the glamour of Hollywood. ππ΅
Fast forward to 2018, when I took my first steps into the world of bachata dancing π. As a social dancer, I quickly fell in love with the danceβs grace, rhythm, and emotional connection. Over time, this passion extended to the world of bachata music as well. I spent hours upon hours listening to songs, which not only deepened my love for the genre but also sharpened my musicality in dance. πΆβ€οΈ
For the past three years, Iβve been diving into bachata tracks by a variety of talented artists, exploring their creativity and styles. Each year, I challenge myself to do something new and exciting! π
β¨ In 2023
I started BINDAAS, a concept focused on bringing together talented artists to create a cozy, vibrant, and amazing bachata community. It was a dream come true to see it grow into something so successful. π₯³π
β¨ In 2024
I took a unique step forward and launched the concept of THE first social dancing bachata festival in Amsterdam. π³π±π A special concept with no workshops, no shows, just pure social dancing! The event was a massive hit. ππ
β¨ Now in 2025
Iβm embarking on an exciting new chapter: DJing! π§ Iβve started learning about the equipment and techniques needed to create unforgettable sets. My plan is to begin small, experimenting with short DJ sessions during BINDAAS parties. If it feels right and I enjoy the process, I would love to bring my sets to other parties that inspires dancers ποΈ
This new journey feels both thrilling and challenging, but Iβm excited to give it my best shot. π Thank you all for following along on this incredible ride and supporting me every step of the way. Hereβs to another year of music, dance, and passion! π
Stay tuned, and see you on the dance floor or behind the DJ booth soon! ππΆ
