Two studios right in the centre

Salsa is danced at Rue du Canal 36-38, third floor, in the Neumarkt building. Bachata and kizomba take place at Rue de Morat 7, first floor, a four-minute walk from Biel station. For Rue du Canal, allow about fifteen minutes on foot from the station, or a few minutes by bus.

No kit needed: come in clothes you can move in and shoes that don't stick to the floor. We take care of the rest.

What an hour of class actually looks like

We start with a few minutes of warm-up and basic-step work to the music. Then comes the move of the day, broken down slowly and repeated in rotation: everyone changes partner regularly. The last stretch is for stringing together what we've covered, often revisiting a move from previous weeks.

That rotation is why nobody needs to bring a partner. It also speeds up progress: every partner leads or follows a little differently, and adapting is where you really learn to dance.

When to start in Biel

Classes run in series of several weeks, but you don't have to wait for a new term. The first hour is free with no commitment, and joining a series already under way is perfectly possible: you then pay only for the remaining sessions.
