We see it happen so often. People have learned ‘a figure’ somewhere and they can only dance that figure with the person they took the dance class with. In other words, they have learned a nice choreo and don’t really know the right techniques behind the figure itself.
We, on the other hand, teach you the correct techniques you need to lead every figure well and what you should do and not do as a woman to become a good follower.
Further more, we also give each dance figure in ‘digestible building blocks’ and we want to encourage you to get started creatively. This way you are able to always create your unique dance, instead of having to learn hundreds of figures by heart.
In short, it is our MISSION to REALLY teach you to dance, so that you can fully enjoy dancing and shine on that dance floor!
We are Bailando Latino… 5 driven dancers who teach daily with great passion and dedication and who you can find at various dance parties at home and abroad.
Sylvie transformed herself over the years from a prima ballerina to a Salsa & Kizomba star on the dance floor! With great fire and enthusiasm she shares her Salsa knowledge with you.
Her tips and tricks make us ladies ‘shine’!
Sylvie teaches our Salsa classes together with Pieter.
Dorian could dance rather than walk, so to speak, and has tons of experience in different dance styles after all these years.
Today, however, Dorian is keen on Kizomba. As soon as the school bell rings (she also teaches), she rushes to the next Kizomba party.
It goes without saying that Dorian gives the Kizomba lessons with us, together with Pieter.
Jill switched from passionate gymnast to the dance world. From novice Salsera to Kizombera, Zoukera and Bachatera. She did it all.
For years she was also constantly back at the various Salsa, Bachata & Kizomba parties. Today Jill teaches our Bachata dance classes together with Andreas.
Pieter is a dancer with more than 20 dance years of experience in various dance styles.
In 2017, he decided to pass on his skills and, above all, his passion and consequently he started teaching dance classes.
Pieter teaches with us the dance classes Salsa with Sylvie & Kizomba with Dorian.
Andreas is our Bachata dancer par excellence. This “hyperkinetic” breathes Bachata and this passion is expressed with great enthusiasm in his classes.
It goes without saying that Andreas is in charge of our Bachata classes, along with Jill.
7 reasons why you should come and dance with us…
When you come to dance with us, first and foremost we want you to have fun. We are driven in our profession and we want you to do well, but FUN comes first! With us you can and certainly will laugh during the lessons.
Our dance school is located in the city centre of Lier and is therefore very easily accessible. Moreover, there is no shortage of parking. There is a very cheap paid parking 100 meters from our dance school, but around the centre there are also several other parking facilities that are FREE after 7 pm. In other words, the ideal location.
We know from experience that (more complex) figures are difficult to remember. That is why we teach in ‘building blocks’ that you can combine yourself. This makes you a much better dancer and in this way the ‘learning material’ is much easier to digest and to remember!
With us it is not mandatory to come and dance with a dance partner. On the contrary, we promote to change partners during our dance lessons (not mandatory!). In this way you learn to lead or to follow much better.
If you take several dance lessons with us, you will receive a discount. If you follow 2 series of classes, you will receive the second series at -20% (eg 1 series of Salsa classes and 1 series of Bachata classes). If you follow 3 series of classes, you will receive the second series at -20% and the third series at -30%!
