Bachata Week Cádiz — Immersive Dance Training & Community
A week to grow, connect, and rediscover
why you love bachata.
More than a festival. More than a training camp.
A carefully planned week in Cádiz where dancers from over 50 countries come together to learn, connect and grow.
Spend your days in classes, social dancing, beach sunsets and great conversations that often turn into lasting friendships.
Many people come to become better dancers. Most leave with much more.
Built around three values
Growth
Real progress takes time.
Train over 10 hours with the same teachers and group all week — so you improve faster than at a typical dance festival.
Connection
The best memories are made together.
Sharing the week with the same group builds real friendships, on and off the dance floor.
Community
Dancers from over 50 countries, brought together by a curated application process.
Balanced groups, shared experiences and a welcoming community make the week feel personal from day one.
Most festivals optimise for quantity. We optimise for learning.
Instead of changing groups every hour, you'll stay with the same cohort all week and follow a structured learning journey designed around your level and goals.

We use video applications to understand each participant's current dancing level and learning needs. This allows us to create balanced groups and provide a better learning experience for everyone.
No. Most participants attend on their own. You can apply as an individual or as a couple.
After applying, you'll submit a dance video. We review each application and place participants into groups based on their current strengths, challenges, learning goals, and overall dancing profile.
Not exactly. We don't use traditional labels because they mean different things in different communities. Everyone attending already has a non-beginner level, and placements are based on the video evaluation rather than a title.
Couple Technique: Partnerwork, connection, lead & follow, social dance skills. Body Technique: Individual movement, body control, posture, isolations, and movement quality. Musicality Technique: Understanding music, rhythm, interpretation, and musical expression.
