24–30 August 2026. Your tracks, your add-on classes, and everything you need to arrive ready.
Your personalised learning journey. Train with the same group throughout the week as your teachers build progressively on each session.
Extra training with artists outside your Group. Purchased separately, à la carte. Limited capacity — pick what interests you most.
These experiences are offered at no additional cost, but places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bachata Week is designed so every class builds on the previous one. Spending the week with the same group allows teachers to understand your dancing, adapt to your progress, give you real individual attention, and take you much deeper than isolated workshops can.
Your Group is fixed for the week. The programme is progressive — each session builds on the last, and teachers adapt the content to the group. It's not designed to be swapped or attended on individual days.
Every participant trains in one Focus Area for the week.
The partnership itself.
For dancers who want to improve partner connection, lead & follow quality, and social dance technique. All work is done in couple — no solo exercises, no choreography.
Andrea & Luis · Noelia & Alonso
The reset every dancer needs. Frame, weight transfer, lead and follow clarity, and the physical language of shared movement, built from the ground up.
Klau & Ros · Nahir & Kike
Precision, sensitivity, and refinement of the mechanics that make a partnership feel effortless from the inside.
Raquel & Pablo · Carolina & Junior
How partners listen to the music together. Shared phrasing, responding to accents and breaks as a unit, making joint musical decisions in real time.
Klau & Ros · Nahir & Kike
Expression as a shared act. How two people create one artistic voice without losing the conversation.
Migle & Gero · Sunsire & Miguel
The full range of couple energy, from stillness to explosion. How to shift between energies together without breaking the connection.
Every Group is named after a neighbourhood or landmark in Cádiz — small corners of the old city that give each track its own identity. When you see one of these names on your schedule, that's your Group for the week.
Groups are carefully curated based on your application and remain the same throughout the programme, so teachers can build progressively and give you more personal coaching. If you'd like to train with artists outside your Group, you can add optional Masterclasses & Labs throughout the week.

There isn't a right answer. Some participants are happy with the included programme. Others travel from the other side of the world and choose additional Masterclasses to train with artists outside their Group.
Remember that Bachata Week is six days of dancing. Between your Group, socials, practice, meals and rest, you'll have a full schedule — choose the extra classes that best match your goals.
Spaces to recover, reflect and integrate the week — open to every participant. Train Like an Artist and Clarity Lab run in small groups, so sign-up is required and places are subject to capacity.
Bachata Week Facilitators
Every participant attends ONE Guided Practica with their Main Track. This is not a workshop — it's a facilitated practice session where you apply what you've learned during the week, receive feedback and ask questions.
StrengthFlow
A progressive journey through body awareness, biomechanics, creative movement, and sustainable performance for dancers.
Kimberly Hoopes
Same programme as Clarity Lab B — choose ONE. 4 sessions: Online + Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A guided coaching space for dancers and professionals who want clarity, direction and actionable next steps during the week.

If your question isn't here, write to hello@bachataweek.com or ask in the participants WhatsApp group.
No. Your Group is fixed for the week so the teachers can build a progressive programme adapted to your group. Changing groups mid-week breaks the arc for you and everyone else.
No. Groups are closed groups — only participants assigned to that group attend those sessions. If you want to train with artists outside your track, book their Masterclasses or Labs.
No. Bachata Week is a full six-day experience. The Group builds day by day and single-day attendance isn't offered.
No. Only your Group and the Included Activities are in your pass. Masterclasses and Labs are optional add-ons you purchase separately, à la carte.
It depends on your goals. Some participants are happy with the Group alone; others add extras to train with artists outside their Group. Remember: six days of dancing is a lot. Leave yourself time to dance socially, rest and enjoy Cádiz.
The app shows only the extras that fit around your Group and existing bookings, so anything you can book from your personal schedule will not clash. That said, it's your responsibility to double-check your schedule and make sure nothing clashes before confirming.
None. A and B are the same programme run twice with different days, so participants can fit one into their week. Choose ONE, not both.
Groups are carefully curated from your video application using Technique, Musicality, Connection and Artistry, together with your learning profile, chosen Focus Area, and leader/follower balance. Two dancers with similar scores may still be placed in different groups if it's the best learning environment for everyone. Groups are named after neighbourhoods in Cádiz (Victoria, Pópulo, La Caleta…), so if you see one of these names on your schedule, that's your Group.
Not guaranteed. Each person is placed based on level and role balance, so you may end up in different groups. You'll dance together at socials, parties and shared activities every day.
You can rejoin the following day, but the Group is progressive so you'll miss the arc that day was building. We can't repeat content for one person. Try to be there for all five sessions.
