Passion is the energy that keeps us going - Fabian has the passion that keeps the dancefloor flowing! Fabian is from Cuba and his mother guided him to start taking lessons in ballet school. He liked the emotions - like a lot! - and he spent 15 years there. Afterwards, he decided to master his skills from the streets. He practised contemporary, Afro-Cuban, choreography, street dance etc. He focused on one style after the other, so he could get better in every style. He loves about teaching others that he can give his knowledge all in once - the history of dance, see how students grow in his hands and they become something. Dancing is not just something he does. Dance can solve his problems. When he is stressed, when he needs to think - he dances. Dancing is a way to live, it is a way of living

My name is Miguel Fachada (or should i say Bachata?) and i come from Portugal. I have been living in Estonia for the past 7 years and dancing for the last 4. Starting to dance was a goal for many years before, and it became a reality when i tried my first Bachata and Salsa lessons back in 2018.

From there i've been focusing more in Bachata. It's a workout to the body and mind, a learning experience and social journey, meeting amazing people on the way. Bachata has become a passion for a long time and i'm happy to share my soft and subtle dancing style with you. Meet me on the dance floor."

Miguel

My journey into the dance world began in 2015, when I discovered Latin dances (salsa, bachata, kizomba). I used to study martial arts and music for over ten years. Zouk won my heart 2 years later. After numerous dance festivals and workshops under renowned Zouk instructors, I feel that Zouk has offered me the most powerful dance experiences both in terms of connecting with my partner and feeling my body. That is why my mission has become the development of the Zouk community in Estonia!

Since childhood dancing always fascinated me. It was in the autumn of 2020 when I met with the Latin vibe. Bachata Studio Tallinn arrived with huge power and full of emotions, so I devoted all my energy, time, and effort there till a hidden talent busted the doors and took over my body giving me the opportunity to get better and better. Thanks to teacher Fabian Arocha for all the hard work and never giving up on me, many performance opportunities came opening the way to being a teacher assistant. Growing takes lots of hard work, so I went to different festivals and participated in workshops with different high-level bachata dancers that made my knowledge grow.
