Our courses last for 8 weeks with one evening class (55-minute lesson) per week. Once you have decided on a course evening and time, it will continue on a rolling basis until the next level, provided that enough participants have registered for the course. The day, time, location and teacher will remain largely the same.

The course costs CHF 180.00 per person. Concessionary prices apply to:

• Students/apprentices CHF 165.00 (with student ID)*

• Colour Key CHF 145.00 (with ID)*

• Repetenten CHF 90.00*

Please bring the course fee in cash to the first evening of the course.

No additional discounts can be granted on the already reduced prices.

For people with no prior knowledge of salsa, the answer is clear: the beginners' courses (Basic 1) are for newcomers. For participants with prior knowledge, it is somewhat more difficult, especially since different dance schools teach different content, use different names for the figures and also name their course levels differently. Therefore, it is always best to get an impression of the courses in question on site. A non-binding trial lesson is possible at any time. The teachers on site will also be happy to help you and advise you on which level is best for you. Trial lessons and clarifications must be arranged in advance with info@bailamos-salsa.ch.

Yes. You can drop in at any time to try out a class for an hour. If you then decide to attend the class regularly, this hour will also be your first class. Trial lessons must be arranged in advance. Please send requests for trial lessons to info@bailamos-salsa.ch.

Yes. In principle, it is possible to join ongoing courses at any time, provided that you have the relevant prior knowledge.

You can find all current courses on our website under ‘Courses’. Click on the ‘Registration’ link to access an online form. If you have any questions or experience technical difficulties, please call us. We will be happy to help.

Yes, you can! We make sure that there are an equal number of followers and leaders registered for each of our courses. If there is an imbalance, we try to even things out by bringing in help from higher courses. So, you don't have to bring a dance partner with you. However, if you have the opportunity to motivate someone, all the better!

Our telephone is answered daily from 10am to 7pm. Enquiries by email will be answered within 24 hours. We also have a WhatsApp chat for each course. The easiest way to unsubscribe is to unsubscribe there. If you cancel your registration for a lesson up to 24 hours before the start of the course, we can organise a temporary dance partner. After this deadline, we cannot guarantee this.

Yes, this is possible! However, this only applies if you have notified us of your absence (e.g. holidays, business events, etc.) when registering and/or 48 hours before the start of the course cycle in writing to info@bailamos-salsa.ch. You are then welcome to make up the missed hours in another ongoing course at the same or any lower level. All spontaneous absences during the current course cannot be made up. Just contact us and we will advise you.

Our regular courses also take a break on public holidays and during the school holidays, e.g. in the summer. In this case, the courses last longer by making up for the missed course evenings. This means you won't miss a single class. The holidays and public holidays are always published on our website and are also mentioned in the courses.

You don't need to bring anything special for the first class. You can dance in our studios in clean street shoes. We recommend that you wear comfortable, loose clothing.

Just like at parties, you will find people of (almost) all ages in the courses. Depending on the course, the average is somewhere between 20 and 50 years old.

Everyone learns at a different pace. This has to do with individual prior knowledge, aptitude, age and other factors. We believe that anyone can learn to dance. Some learn faster than others, as with everything in life. We do our best to meet our students where they are in order to make their first steps as easy as possible. Everyone who wants to try it is welcome!

We stand for excellent courses with in-depth knowledge and great fun! If you are not satisfied with a course period, you will get a refund of the course fee, provided that a well-founded, written complaint has been submitted.

If you would like to enjoy intensive and tailored lessons, private lessons may be the right choice for you. Contact us directly by phone or email. You can find the prices for private lessons here.

If you are a little short of money, that is no reason not to dance. Contact us so that we can arrange payment in instalments, for example.

Is there anything better than giving the gift of exercise, fun, joie de vivre and passion combined with great music? You can find all the information about our gift vouchers here.

Every Thursday, we hold a practica in our studios with three floors (salsa, bachata and kizomba). The practica is open to the public and costs CHF 7.00 to enter. Mineral water is provided free of charge. Several of our instructors are on hand at each practica to ensure that you have danceable music and are available to answer any questions you may have. You can find more information about our events here.

We have set up our WhatsApp news group chat for exactly this purpose. Our students can use this chat to connect and go out together. No matter what your dance level is, everyone is welcome! Of course, we teachers are also always out and about and will keep you up to date on cool party locations. Ask our team about this chat.

Our Salsa Paradies Social takes place every Wednesday at the Corrientes on Gundeldingerfeld for all salsa lovers. Primarily, Salsa songs are played on this evening. However, Bachata and Kizomba enthusiasts also get their money's worth. You can find more information about our events here.

We organise a big party several times a year. With three dance floors, Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba rhythms, as well as great shows, we conjure up a unique dance experience for you. The party always has a motto, which you are welcome to live out. A prize awaits the brave. You can find more information about our events here.
