Amateur Bachata Couple

For amateurs (dancers who do not receive financial compensation for dancing, teaching or performing) that already have an amateur partner, Kat Arias is available to choreograph routines to take to competition. You represent the Ferocity Dance Company, but also have the comfort of having your coach there at competition for you. In these competitions, both amateurs are judged. 

Charges associated with Amateur competitions are private lesson fees, registration fees, travel costs, as well as costumes.
