House of Bachata
in Mainz
bachata.mz by louisa is the place to learn Bachata Sensual in our beloved Mainz.
Once a week, an offline date with real people: phone away, music on. Every class is a fixed group for three months. You learn technique and combinations for the social floor and step onto it with more confidence. Let’s grow our beloved Bachata scene in Mainz.

Every touch is an invitation. You set your boundaries, and we respect them.
Come on your own or with friends. Everyone finds their place in class.
We change partners regularly, and you can learn to lead, to follow – or both.

Reviews
says about us
„Louisa is a great teacher that cares a lot about everyone to be able to learn both roles. She gives very helpful feedback, but what I like about her classes is not just the courses. It is her ability to connect and build a community. She is very passionate, kind and supportive to all the students in a way that you feel like you are part of a community. I really suggest her courses to anyone who not only wants to learn bachata but also wants to be part of a community :)“

„Sie schafft eine unglaublich angenehme und offene Atmosphäre, in der sich jeder willkommen und als Teil der Community fühlt. Ganz unabhängig davon, wer man ist oder wie man aussieht. Besonders toll ist die Kombination aus ihrem Anspruch an eine saubere technische Ausführung und dem gleichzeitig lockeren, entspannten Unterrichtsstil. Sie nimmt sich Zeit für individuelles Feedback, ohne dass jemals Leistungsdruck entsteht. Dazu kommen viele coole und sympathische Menschen, die die Kurse zu etwas Besonderem machen.“

About
I have been dancing for 25 years. bachata.mz is my House of Bachata in Mainz: a place where you learn, practise and meet people who share the same passion.
My dance journey began with ballet at the age of four, which I danced until I was 22. Along the way came a few years each of jazz and tap dance.
I have been dancing Bachata for 5 years, and teaching it with a lot of passion for 3.5 years. In June 2024 I earned the teacher certificate as a RoleRotation instructor: with me you can get to know both sides of the dance, leading and following, if you want to.
I keep training and taking classes regularly to keep developing. My passion has grown into a project of the heart for the Mainz community. Thank you to everyone who brings this vision to life.

No. You can come on your own. In class we change partners regularly, so you learn with everyone and nobody is left out.
No. BASICS is made for you if you are starting from zero. We go step by step.
Comfortable clothes you can move freely in, and shoes with a smooth sole that let you turn. Please no street shoes with a heavy tread.
Choose your class under Classes & dates and click “Sign up”. Spots are limited and there is no drop-in. Not sure which class fits? Write to me and I will help you.
The Explorer package (1 class + Bachata Open Lab, 16.5 h) costs 220 € as a one-off payment or approx. 50 € per month (+5 %). Two instalments are possible on request. The Bachata Open Lab on its own costs 5 € in cash on site.
