Dance your Magic
A five-day Bachata immersion where technique, connection, dancer mindset, self-development and artistic expression come together.
We train more than how you dance. We develop the dancer as a whole: how you move, connect, feel, express and show up on the dance floor.
Small groups. Deep experiences. In the mountains of Barcelona.
A dancer can execute a step correctly and still be holding their breath. Still performing instead of feeling. Still afraid of being seen. Technique is not the opposite of freedom. Technique is what makes freedom possible, and both belong in the same room.
Conscious Bachata is how we bring them together: clear technical education alongside breath, body awareness, mindset, polarity and honest artistic expression. Not one instead of the other. Both, at once.
Every retreat focuses on a specific theme edition, for a specific transformation. Five days, one small group, one direction: training and technical workshops, holistic and somatic work through the day, conscious social dancing at night. Accommodation and all meals included.
One retreat has its full page online. For every other edition, leave us your details and we will send you everything the moment it is ready.

Personal style, creativity and artistic identity. For dancers with a solid base who want to stop copying and bring their own voice into partnerwork and the social.
14 to 18 October 2026 · Barcelona mountains
Feminine energy, sensuality, the feminine cycle, confidence, body and expression. For women who want to improve technique and following, and unlock a freer, more authentic expression.
4 to 6 December 2026 · Barcelona mountains
Intensive bachata technique and M&M style. Combinations, body movement, turns, lead and follow, partnerwork, coordination and movement quality. Fundamentals are the base, not the ceiling.
10 to 14 February 2027 · Barcelona mountains
The couple inside and outside the dance. Love, sensuality, respect, safety, trust, conscious communication, feminine and masculine energy. No partner rotation.

Feminine energy, sensuality, body, cycles, confidence and expression. Can link straight into the Feminine and Masculine Energy Retreat that follows it.
10 to 14 March 2027 · Barcelona mountains
Yin and yang in the person, the relationship and the couple dance. Leading and following, direction and receptivity, structure and flow, boundaries, giving and receiving, trust and safety.
July 2027 · Ibiza
The most social version of everything we do. Seven days in Ibiza: bachata, sea, community, dancing and living together, with less training intensity than the themed retreats.
22 to 26 September 2027 · Barcelona mountains
Self confidence and creativity. The safety to show yourself, the fear of mistakes, perfectionism, improvisation, and turning a mistake into a creative resource inside the dance.
1 to 5 December 2027 · Barcelona mountains
Artist and professional career. Couple identity, personal style, creativity, image, wardrobe, positioning, how to present yourselves, and what ten years of the M&M career actually taught us.
We met through a social dance at a festival in Lebanon. What made it different was not the attraction. It was the safety, the presence and the balance. We have been life partners, dance partners and teaching partners ever since.
Between us: Latin and ballroom, ballet, flamenco, contemporary, acting, somatic work, breath, mindset, and a lot of long haul flights. Conscious Bachata came out of noticing what technical training alone kept leaving behind.
What you find on a retreat is usually already yours. Our work is to make space for it, and to give you enough tools that it can actually come out.
Our WhatsApp group is where new editions, openings and last places are announced before anywhere else. It is also where the people who come to the retreats find each other, long before they arrive.
Free to join. Leave whenever you like.
News, offers and the dates of our upcoming retreats. We write now and then, never more often than we would want to be written to ourselves.

This site is run by M&M Dance FZE, registered in the Fujairah Creative City Media Free Zone, United Arab Emirates, under trade licence 17545/2021, at Twin Towers, P.O. Box 4422, Fujairah, UAE.

Two things, both of which you type in yourself. From the retreat form: your name, your email, your WhatsApp number if you choose to give it, which retreat interested you and your dancing level. From the mailing list at the bottom of this page: your name and your email. In both cases we also record the moment you ticked the consent box and the exact wording you agreed to. We use it for one thing: to answer you and to send you news, offers and dates about our retreats. We rely on your consent, which is why the box is there and why it starts unticked.
With the form and email tools we use, and in our own records. Because we work across countries, your details may be handled outside the one you live in, including in the United Arab Emirates and in Europe. We keep them until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. If you unsubscribe we keep a note that you did, purely so we never add you back by accident.
We never sell or rent your details. We never pass them to another company to market to you. We never add anyone to the list who did not tick the box themselves.
A copy of everything we hold about you, a correction, or complete deletion. You can withdraw your consent whenever you like, and it is as easy as giving it: every email we send carries an unsubscribe link, and writing to us works just as well. We answer these ourselves, and we do not ask you why. If you are in the EU, the UK or the UAE and you are not happy with how we handled your request, you have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
Writing to us on WhatsApp is a separate conversation, not the mailing list. We answer you there, we keep the thread so we remember what you asked, and ticking nothing on this page keeps you off the list entirely.
