We are Raquel and Oscar, Spanish dancers with more than 12 years of experience teaching salsa and bachata in Spain; and owners of Pasito Dance School in Amsterdam since 2019.

We are analytic dancers, that have been and keep dedicating time to study not just the dance per se, from a biomechanic and communicational point of view,  but also teaching and learning techniques to create a senseful methodology.

We always try to create a good balance from technique and joy, being precise in explanations and personally helping each student to improve, but  also having a joyful environment, making jokes and trying to become close to people and create a family feeling.

Dancing is our job, but also our passion, and we want to share with everybody. We would love to help you discover the amazing world of latin dance community, that will let you release stress, have wonderful moments, and meet people all around the world and socialize super easily.

Salsa

Salsa is called like that because its not just a music gender, but a mixture of a lot of them. Its main root is cuban soon, mixed with New York jazz and blues music, starting at the 30s to be born as mambo music, but getting its identity as salsa during the late 60s. It is a dance style that usually has high energy, based both in communication by leading and following between a couple through the hands, to make turn patterns, and solo movements based on body isolation and footwork

Bachata

Bachata is a music gender born in Dominican Republic around 1962 born mainly as a mix of bolero and cuban son, but also getting highly influenced by merengue. It has 3 main styles that we like to mix while dancing, with different techniques behind, but the main point is that has a lower energy than salsa and is more based on connection, using less momentum and being more based around frame and creating energy through breathing

Yes, just make sure to inform us previously to keep a track of the amount of people and mantain a balance

We create new beginner groups and workshops from time to time, open to everyone. 

Also, if you are unable on those dates, you can join the classes that we will start the weeks right after. We will go on from the point where we finish the tryouts. In case you miss more than 2 classes, you can also take a private class to catch up in one hour before joining the group

In case it causes problems with the balance, that would be not possible. If we find another person to get your spot we have no problem for it, but due to those spots being limited, we can’t cancel reservations. What we can do is save your payment as credit for future workshop/classes, so you could attend a different event using it

This is a absolute beginners class, so everyone can join without any previous experience needed. As we like to say, everyone is able to learn regardless of experience or talent; if you can move daily, you can dance

Street shoes are not allowed inside the studio, so make sure to bring either shocks if you are ok dancing only with them, or a clean pair of shoes.

About clothes, anything works as far as you are confortable.
