When Flamenco
Meets Bachata

Dailen Martin

An original dance fusion by World & International Bachata Champion

Discover the project

Our story

It started in Cuba, with flamenco

Before bachata, there were fans, heel work, and polka-dot dresses.

I was born in Santa Clara, Cuba, where my journey in dance began with flamenco. From an early age, flamenco became part of who I am, shaping my passion, discipline, elegance, and artistic expression.

Years later, when I moved to the United States, I discovered new rhythms, including bachata, linear salsa, and kizomba. As I explored these dance styles, I began imagining something different: bringing the passion and elegance of flamenco together with the rhythm and musicality of Latin dance.

That vision became When Flamenco Meets Bachata, my personal artistic project, where two dance traditions come together to create a unique expression of movement, culture, and passion.

Today, as a World & International Bachata Champion, choreographer, and dance instructor, I continue sharing this fusion through performances, workshops, and international dance events.

Born from my roots. Inspired by my journey. Brought to life through dance.
