BACHATA SHINES Bootcamp w Ieva Mila

Coined the Queen of Bachata in Australia, this is an experience you do not want to miss.
“I empower women because I know how powerful it is to feel at home in your own body. Dance has always been my way of building confidence, self-trust, and strength, and that’s what I share through my bootcamps.
This isn’t about being perfect or doing the most. It’s about reconnecting with your body. I create space for growth, expression, and empowerment — both on and off the dance floor. And if you’ve been craving ladies’ time, a space just for us to explore movement, feel confident, laugh, giggle, and truly connect with each other - this is for you.” - Ieva
