Bachata classes in Tarragona

Besides travelling to international festivals, we teach every week in Tarragona. The same methodology we take to the stage, applied to students starting from zero.

What you learn in our classes

We work on bachata from the ground up: posture, weight and basic step before any figures. That is the part most people skip, and the one that later separates dancing figures from dancing well.

Classes combine individual technique, partner connection and musicality, with guided practice and personal corrections. We teach in Spanish and English, which helps if you are here on Erasmus or have just moved to the city.

Sensual Bachata

Partner connection, body movement and flowing figures. The style we learned from its creators.

Bachata classes for beginners

If you have never danced, start with the bachata class on Thursdays at 19:30. It is designed exactly for that: nothing is taken for granted, not the basic step, not the rhythm, not even how to hold a partner.

The first weeks are not about figures. They are about where your weight is, how the body moves with the music, and recognising the bachata rhythm without counting out loud. It's the part most people skip, and the one that later separates someone doing steps from someone dancing.

And yes, it's hard at first. But bachata is one of the friendliest partner dances to walk into: you learn the basic step on day one, and everything else is built on top of it.

What you don't need to start

  • You don't need a partner: we rotate in class, and it's the fastest way to learn.
  • You don't need previous dance experience, or any dancing at all.
  • You don't need dance shoes: comfortable flat-soled footwear is enough.
  • You don't need to "have rhythm": rhythm is trained, like everything else.

Which level are they for?

We work with three levels and one clear idea: nobody should feel lost or bored in a class.

  • Beginner: you start from zero. Posture, basic step, rhythm and your first combinations.
  • Intermediate: you already dance, and it is time to refine technique, expand combinations and work on musicality.
  • Advanced: detailed technique, complex combinations and developing your own style.

Where we teach

We teach our regular classes at Ritmos Tarragona, the school where we are teachers. It is well connected and just a few minutes from Reus, Vila-seca and Salou, with parking at the door.

For up-to-date schedules, prices and availability, message us on WhatsApp: we reply the same day and tell you which class fits your level.

Frequently asked questions about the classes

Do I need to bring a partner?

No. Partners rotate constantly in class, which is also the fastest way to learn to lead and follow. You can come on your own without any problem.

I have never danced before, can I start?

Yes. The beginner level is designed exactly for that: it starts with posture, the basic step and rhythm, taking nothing for granted.

Can I try a class before signing up?

Message us on WhatsApp and we will explain how the first class works and which day suits you best for your level.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in and flat-soled shoes that do not grip the floor. You do not need dance shoes to start.

What language are the classes in?

In Spanish, and we can explain in English when students are not fluent yet. We teach in both languages regularly at international festivals.
