“I had the best time on my Somoloco Salsa Immersion in Medellin. The entire trip was a blast. I continue to tell friends it was an 11 out of 10. Everything from the dance instructors, to the experiences, to the city of Medellin, the tourist attractions. All of it was just perfect.”

“The program was set up very well and I was quite happy with it, it was a great intro for my first visit to Colombia. The teachers were great too and very talented, I was happy to have met them. Medellin is a beautiful city, I look forward to visiting it again.”

“Honestly one of the best vacations of my life. I am so sad to leave! Thank you for my teachers. They are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!”

“It was my first time salsa dancing and so happy I took classes in Colombia. We loved the experience of learning new moves from the masters during the day, and trying them out among the locals at night. I can’t think of a better way to learn! Our morning acroyoga classes were a great way to stretch out after the late nights dancing.”

“Before Colombia, I had never danced. I come from a culture where there is quite an aversion towards human touch and connection, while here, dancing with a partner, being held by someone, being guided, supported and led…its just magical. And its spicy, its sexy, its hot!”

“Dancing has been awesome. It’s something I never I thought I would learn how do well. I now can get on a dance floor with confidence. It’s been a growing, learning, and in some ways a healing experience”

β€œThis program was intensive but not overwhelming, with private lessons but in a group setting, making it a fun, social experience. Met some amazing people and most importantly, improved my bachata skills! I would 100% do it again.”

Amy J.

β€œThey take care of all the organization, find teachers, find accommodations, tell you where to go social dancing and having 3 hours of private lessons per day is sure to get to the next level.”

Kaine K.

β€œI was skeptical at first and a little hesitant but OMG, I had the time of my life. If you are looking to improve your dancing, experience the culture, meet amazing people and just have the best time, book this trip now!”

Frequently Asked Questions

A Somoloco Bachata Immersion is a mix of intensive dance education and cultural immersion with our community of local dancers. The idea is that through our 1-4 week deep dive into bachata, you will learn to dance, meet amazing people, and experience for yourself what latin joy, flavor, and affection is in Barcelona, Spain. We work with the BEST people, curate the BEST experiences, and partner with the most authentic locales in the city!

Group Immersions occur only during listed dates on theΒ Immersion Page, while Private Immersions run all 52 weeks a year.Β  Β Group immersions and Private Immersions have the same programming and 1-1 class structure, just that in Group Immersions you are sharing the studio and the experience with other participants just like you. So from the welcome dinner, to having buddies to go out for meals with in your down time, you’ll have peers to share the experience with. With that said we often have multiple participants during Private Immersion dates. And whether you come yourself on a Private Immersion or join a Group Immersion,, you will always be accompanied by us for all programming, along with 24/7 support via whatsapp πŸ™‚

This is for people of all ages and backgrounds! The minimum is that you are ready to be active and ready to dance! We actively encourage age diversity as it makes for a more dynamic group, and commonly have participants ranging from their 20s – 60s.

Group immersion programming begins on Mondays and ends on Saturdays. Sundays are reserved for arrival and departure.

Private immersion programming follows the same schedule, though we can tweak upon request.

Yes! We have had many people dancing for the first time. Our instructors are patient and experienced teaching beginners as well as competitive dancers. They will make you feel part of the community and help you go from zero to social dancer in no time. See whatΒ Michael said here as a first time dancer.

Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? Yes… if you move like a savvy traveler, not a sleepy tourist πŸ˜‰

Barcelona is a vibrant, late-night, dance-until-2am kind of city. You’ll see couples strolling, friends spilling out of socials, and abuelas on evening walks. It’s alive. And we love that.

That said β€” like most major European cities β€” petty theft and pickpocketing can happen, especially in busy areas and on public transport.

Here’s the real talk:

-Don’t leave your phone sitting on cafΓ© tables (yes, even for a second).

-Keep bags zipped and worn in front in crowded spaces.

-Stay aware in tourist-heavy zones and on the metro.

-If something feels off, trust your gut (and our Trip Leader!)

We guide you on where to go, how to move, and what areas to avoid at night. You’re not just landing and winging it β€” you’re plugged into a local network from day one.

Come curious. Come open. Just don’t come careless.

 

Dance boldly. Travel smart.
We’ve got you. πŸ’ƒ

Pay 25% deposit to reserve your immersion (or full price now if you’d like to just take care of it). The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days before your immersion start date.

Cancellations made within 30 days of the immersion are eligible for a refund, minus a €200 administrative fee.

In the event of a documented medical emergency or bereavement preventing you from attending, we may, at our discretion, hold your full payment as a credit toward a future immersion within the next 12 months.
