What People Say

When I got into the community of bachata dancers, I met many good people with whom we are on the same wavelength! I also love bachata events - happy people enjoying music and dancing! This creates a special vibe of ease and joy!

I discovered that I don't have to be a 'natural dancer' to enjoy dancing! Already in the first classes, I realized that this isn't some competition - it's fun, movement, music, and good vibes. I feel more confident not only on the dance floor but also in everyday life. It's like a little 'restart' after a long day - you come to class, laugh, move, and leave with a much lighter heart. Don't overthink it - just come and try! Nobody expects you to know anything already. Everyone starts from zero, and together this journey is so much more fun. It might be the best decision you'll make for yourself!

I was surprised by how Bachata feels like a universal language. You are able to instantly connect with someone through movement and rhythm. Itβs incredible how much you can express and understand just through the dance. Bachata brings such a positive energy into my life. The moment I step onto the dance floor, all other worries disappearβitβs just me, the music, and the connection. Itβs helped me feel more present and confident, both on and off the floor. Give yourself the chance to learn the basics and build from there. The journey is deeply rewarding, and if you keep training, youβll not only grow as a dancer but also gain so much joy along the way.

I was surprised by the variety of movements in dance and, most importantly, each trainer has his own approach. And this broadens your horizons even more. I can ask myself only one question. Why did it take me so long to get ready for dancing? But this is a rhetorical question. Of course, self-confidence is given by dancing, it does not say how much the whole organism comes into tone, do not wait for a convenient time, it goes away. Enjoy yourself at every moment, and dancing is one of the tools. It is self-love.
