BACHATA SENSE

Your questions. Clear answers.

What you need to know before getting started, taking a private lesson or training together.

Getting started

Do I need experience?

No. We start from your current level. In your first private lesson we discuss your goal and identify the foundations that will help you most. Experienced dancers can work on specific details too.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. You do not need to bring a partner for a 1:1 lesson. Partner coaching is for two people. Each workshop description explains whether individual registration is possible.

What will I learn?

The focus is on Fundamentals, Sensual technique, body awareness, connection and musicality. We work towards understanding movement and feeling more confident and free on the social dance floor.

Practical details

Where do lessons take place?

Sessions are offered around Zurich and Valencia, subject to availability. We confirm the room and meeting point before booking. The address in the legal notice is a correspondence address, not a permanently open dance studio.

Which languages can you teach in?

Lessons are available in German and English. I am still learning Spanish. If you need Spanish, we will check before booking whether the requested format works for you.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothing, water and clean shoes that let you move safely. Any specific studio rules come with your booking confirmation. Special dance clothing is not required.

How long is a lesson?

An individual session lasts 60 minutes. The focus package contains five 60-minute 1:1 sessions, scheduled personally. Workshops are planned individually.

Booking

How much does training cost?

1:1: CHF 110 in Switzerland or € 55 in Spain per 60 minutes. Partner coaching: CHF 150 or € 75 for both people together. Five 1:1 sessions: CHF 500 or € 250. Any room or travel costs are stated before confirmation.

Does submitting a request confirm a booking?

No. The form sends your preference. The booking becomes binding once we personally confirm the date, place, service and total price. A requested time is not automatically reserved.

How do I pay?

We agree the payment method and due date with the booking confirmation. The enquiry form does not collect payment for these private lessons.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Contact me as early as possible through the booking channel. The terms agreed before booking apply. An unconfirmed request carries no cancellation fee. See Booking, cancellation & refunds for details.

Can I organise a workshop?

Yes. Send me the location, preferred dates, approximate group size, level and topic. We agree the fee and format — fixed fee or admission-based — individually.

Dates

How do I find last-minute changes?

The calendar displays published changes, cancellations and notes and refreshes regularly while open. Check the event detail page before travelling. Changes to a personal booking are agreed directly with you.

Academy & community

What is already available in the Academy?

You can begin with three free written Fundamentals lessons and practice prompts. Further topics are marked as planned. A complete video tutorial programme is not available yet.

Does the account cost anything?

The account is free and is not a paid subscription. It lets you send training requests, save check-ins and submit Community Notes. New notes are reviewed before publication.

Training together

What matters to you in training?

Clear technique, honest feedback and respect. Physical contact requires consent. You may take a break or decline a movement at any time. Tell me what you need to feel comfortable.
