Junior Aquino took his first dance steps as a child. At the age of 19 he became a representative of bachata in his hometown of Bonao when he started organizing competitions and other events. He has been teaching bachata and salsa since 2008 in the Dominican Republic and is seen as one of the key people in the bachata scene in the DR. Since 2014 he has taught and performed at a number of congresses all over the world. His talent, musicality and unique style is taking the world by storm and the authentic bachata is now on the rise with an increasing amount of followers falling in love with its joy, sensuality and playfullness.

Carolina Bustamante was born in Colombia in 1991 and from a young age she started to fall in love with dance. In 2012 Carolina decided to move to Stockholm permanently to dedicate herself fully to dance. Starting from zero with only a desire to dance and evolve she was soon working at Stockholm Salsa Dance teaching salsa, bachata and kizomba. She started travelling to congresses and festivals all over the world to learn more about bachata. In October 2015 Carolina spent a month in the Dominican Republic taking classes and dancing while falling even more in love with the Dominican culture. Since July 2016 she has been teaching salsa and bachata with Junior. During the past years they and their Dominican Flow teams have participated in congresses and other events in France, Mexico, Spain, Germany, Denmark and Russia just to mention a few. Their goal is to spread and share their knowledge of the Dominican culture to Europe and the whole world.
