Bachata Classes in Laureles

No! You absolutely do not need a partner. If you schedule a private class alone, you will dance with your instructor. Our experienced teachers are skilled at both leading and following, ensuring you get the full learning experience regardless of whether you come solo or with a partner.

Absolutely! We welcome complete beginners and love introducing new students to dance. Our instructors break everything down step by step, starting with the fundamentals and building at your own pace. Most students are surprised by how quickly they progress — many see noticeable improvement within just a few classes.

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is ideal — athletic wear, yoga pants, or casual clothes all work well. For footwear, avoid flip-flops or open sandals. Dance shoes are great if you have them, but clean sneakers or flat-soled shoes work perfectly for beginners.

It depends on your goals and how often you practice. Most students feel comfortable with the basics of a dance style within 5–10 classes. Regular classes accelerate progress significantly — students who take 2–3 classes per week see dramatic improvement within a month.

Yes! Our packages allow you to mix and match dance styles. You might take salsa one day and bachata the next — it's entirely up to you. This flexibility lets you explore different rhythms and find what you love most.

Just contact us via WhatsApp at +57 300 773 6266 or send us an email. We'll find a time that works for your schedule. We're open Monday to Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM and offer flexible scheduling throughout the day.

We understand that plans change. Please give us at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, and we'll be happy to find you another time. Classes from packages remain valid for 3 months, so you have plenty of flexibility.

Not at all! We work with students from all over the world and have experience teaching in English. Dance is a universal language, and many of our instructors are comfortable communicating in English. You'll feel right at home from your very first class.

We offer both! Private classes (one-on-one or couples) give you personalised instruction at your own pace, while group classes let you learn in a fun social environment and meet other dancers. Many students enjoy a combination of both.

Each class is 1 hour long. This is the ideal duration — long enough to make meaningful progress on technique and choreography, but short enough to stay focused and energised throughout.

Bailonga has 30 years of experience teaching dance in Medellín, and our focus has always been on creating a warm, welcoming environment where every student feels celebrated. We teach authentic Latin rhythms with passion, and our reviews consistently reflect the joy our students experience. We're not just a dance school — we're a community.

Our instructors are professional dancers with years of both performance and teaching experience. They're trained in salsa, bachata, merengue, tango, and porro, and are skilled at adapting their teaching style to suit students at every level — from total beginners to experienced dancers refining their technique.

We're located in Laureles, one of Medellín's most vibrant and safe neighbourhoods. Staying in Laureles or nearby El Poblado gives you easy access to our studio. Many boutique hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs in the area are within walking distance or a short taxi ride.
