Class formats: weekly class, drop-in, workshop and bootcamp
- Weekly class: the same slot every week with the same group. This is the best way if you want to learn the basic step securely, see Bachata basic step.
- Drop-in: you book single classes. This suits a changing calendar. La Mambita lists drop-in on its website and accepts Urban Sports Club.
- Workshop: one topic on one date, such as turns or styling. More on Bachata workshop.
- Bootcamp: intensive sessions over several hours. Zapatissimo lists bootcamp formats on its page for Bachata classes in Berlin.
Which level and which style suit you?
Start in the first level as a beginner, even if you have danced other things. The Bachata basic step with the tap on count four is the base for everything else, and beginner classes are the easiest way to understand the music. More on Bachata for beginners.
On style: Moderna is easy to get into, Sensual brings body work and a close connection, Dominicana more footwork and play with the rhythm. The differences are explained on Bachata Moderna, Bachata Sensual and Bachata Dominicana.
Location and commute: choose a class in your neighbourhood
In Berlin distances are long, and a class that takes an hour to reach is quickly skipped. So check the connections before you sign up. La Mambita, for example, is in Schöneberg and, according to its own website, easy to reach by S-Bahn and U-Bahn.
Questions to ask before you sign up
- Is there a trial class and what does it cost?
- Do partners rotate in class, and do I have to bring someone?
- How big are the groups and how many levels are there?
- How long does a block run and how can I cancel or pause?
- Are there socials or practice nights where I can use what I have learnt?
We deliberately do not quote prices because they change. It is best to compare two or three price lists. For parties in the city see Bachata party Berlin.
