THE BACHATA SENSE PRINCIPLE
Not either or.
Quality lives in balance.
Bachata Sense connects opposites: technique and feeling, stability and movement, individuality and connection. Like Yin and Yang, it is not about rigid symmetry – it is about sensing what the moment needs.
CONTROL ↔ FREEDOM · STRUCTURE ↔ SENSE · SELF ↔ CONNECTION

02 / THE METHOD
Many influences.
One goal: your own dance.
I do not teach a collection of patterns. I break movement into understandable principles and build it back up so you can actually use it in social dancing.
Technique is not the destination. Technique creates safety – so you can react freely afterwards.

04 / MY PATH
Not only Bachata.
Movement from different worlds.
My teaching is shaped by different dance forms, stage experience and intensive Bachata Sensual training. I do not collect more moves from them – I collect principles.
Musical “Underground” in Baden
Two years of stage experience with 100+ young performers and national shows. Training included krumping, popping, streetdance and breakdance, plus explorations of tectonics and tap.
Starting Bachata
Started at Salsabrosa. Later choreography and performance experience with Kike y Nahir and training with Marco y Sara’s Bachavolution showteam.
Sensual Mentoring
Part of Pablo y Raquel’s Sensual Mentoring Team – focusing on technique, connection and the logic behind Bachata Sensual.
100+ hours private training
Intensive training at the Bachata Sensual Dancecenter Barcelona with different instructors, alongside continuous festival and social-dance training.
Bachata Sensual Certified Instructor
Level 1 with Korke & Judith. Fundamentals and the “why” behind movement form the backbone of Bachata Sense today.
Martha Graham technique
Center, breath, grounding and contraction & release expand my understanding of tension, release and movement initiated from the body.

05 / BACHATA SENSE
Hi, I’m Patrick.
I love social dancing, but not the pressure to constantly become more spectacular. My teaching should give you security without forcing you into a template.
I want you to dance comfortably with different partners, understand movement and sometimes consciously do nothing. A smile after a great social matters more to me than a complicated pattern.
That is why Bachata Sense is dance school, learning system and community at the same time: Master the Basics. Trust Your Senses.
“MASTER THE BASICS.
TRUST YOUR SENSES.”

Not video chaos.
A learning system.
