An audition-based group that trains, choreographs, and performs bachata across the Denver metro — led by Michael Elliott
Dynamic Bachata has an active performance team — a group of dancers who have moved beyond the social floor and into the performing side of the art. The team is audition-based, trains on original bachata choreography, and performs at showcases, competitions, and public events across Denver and the surrounding metro area.
The team is led by Michael Elliott, instructor and choreographer at Dynamic Bachata, who specializes in urban bachata, partner work, and performance team development. Team members are expected to maintain regular attendance in rehearsals and bring the same commitment they bring to competition or performance preparation.
Auditions are held when the team is looking for new members. The best way to stay informed is to attend our classes and follow our events page. Contact us directly if you want to ask about the current timeline.

Being on the performance team is different from taking classes. Here is what members actually do.
Team members work on original bachata choreography created by Michael Elliott and the team leads. Pieces draw from traditional, sensual, and urban bachata styles.
The team rehearses consistently to build precision, timing, and stage presence. Members are expected to attend scheduled rehearsals and show up prepared.
The team performs at showcases, competitions, and public events across the Denver metro area — representing the studio and the art form at a high level.
Beyond steps, the team works on musicality, expression, and performance quality — the things that separate a performer from a dancer.
The performance team draws from the existing student body. If you are new to bachata, the path starts with the regular class program.
Start in our beginner bachata classes and progress through the weekly program. The dance company page has additional context on the performance side of the studio.
Is this a class I can sign up for?
No. The performance team is not a class on the regular schedule. It is an audition-based group of dancers who train and perform together. If you want to work toward the team, the path is through the regular class program — particularly the intermediate/advanced levels.
Who leads the performance team?
Michael Elliott leads the performance team. Michael is an instructor and choreographer at Dynamic Bachata, specializing in urban bachata, partner work, and performance team development.
How do I audition?
Auditions are held periodically when the team is looking to add new members. Contact us directly to ask about the current timeline, or follow our events page for announcements. There is no open-enrollment schedule — auditions happen when the team has capacity and a fit.
Can I watch the team perform?
Yes. Performance dates are posted on our events page. Attending a showcase is also a great way to see what the team works toward before deciding to audition.
