Dance your Magic
5-day Bachata immersions
What comes 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.
Every retreat has its own theme, for a specific transformation. Small groups, training through the day, conscious social dancing at night. Accommodation and all meals included.

Women only · Barcelona mountains

It was the best dance event experience of my life. I am forever changed as a dancer.
Ahmedina · Inner Artist
This retreat is very unique since it combines techniques with mindset.
Vincent · Inner Artist
It made me feel loved and accepted, maybe for the first time in dancing.
Rana A. · Germany
I entered this retreat with my heart completely open, and I left feeling like a new person.

In a retreat we see you. How you move, how you connect, where you hold back. Then we guide you, one to one.
Personal feedback, mentoring blocks, and time to ask what you never ask in a class. You leave with a clear next step for your dance.
Every retreat trains all five. Each theme puts one of them in the centre.
One dance in 2016, and everything after it.
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.
Dancer since she was four. Studied medicine, then holistic women’s health. Today she guides women through their body, their cycle and their feminine energy.
Studied architecture, then Latin and ballroom. From that he created the Body Movement Graph, a clear map of how the body moves. Breath brought him back to his body, and now he teaches it.
“The dance shows the relationship. And the relationship changes the dance.”
On 4 August 2020 we survived the Beirut port explosion, inside our car, 700 metres away. After that we could not believe that tomorrow was guaranteed. Presence stopped being a concept. It became how we live, and how we love.
We also know the hard part. The pressure of traveling the world together. The pressure of working together. The pressure of really confronting each other. Our dance showed so many parts of our relationship, and dance became a doorway to improve it.
In 2016, at 21, Mayra was told she had pre-cancer. Two operations on her uterus showed her how disconnected she was from her own body, even as a dancer. That started ten years of work with her feminine energy, her cycle, and dance as a way of healing.
From all of this came Conscious Bachata and the Dance Healing method. We have taught in more than 65 countries. We are not teaching a concept. We are teaching a life experience.

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.
