rodchata, rodney aquino, bachata
Rodchata, as bachateros intimately calls him, has been in the dance scene for over 13 years. His dance background includes Latin International Ballroom, Salsa (on1, on2 and Cuban Timba), Chachacha, Merengue and Bachata. He had his first bachata encounter five years in ago in the East Coast. He had been dancing bachata and studying the culture ever since. He was the first instructor to ever teach a bachata class in San Francisco and one of the few people that popularized bachata dance in the Bay Area. He is the founder of the popular salsa website, Salsagang.com, Lalunaclubs.com and CEO of Rodchata Enterprises. Since creating Salsagang, he had the opportunity to teach the bachata dance at big salsa events such as San Francisco International Salsa Congress, Reno Dance Sensation, Salsa Extravaganza (Palm Springs), Summer Splash (Palm Springs), North West Salsa Congress (Seattle), Chico Dance Sensation, Sacramento Salsa Fest and Dallas Salsa Congress.
