About us

Michael y Mayra

Life partners. Dance partners.

International bachata artists based in Barcelona, and the creators of Conscious Bachata: bachata taught whole. Technique, breath and body awareness, mindset, connection, and real expression, together instead of separately. Never technique alone, and never feeling alone.

Technique is what gives you freedom. And dancing is a mirror, so what you meet in it goes far beyond the dance.

Why biohacking

We live this before we teach it

We are on the road almost every weekend of the year. Festivals, congresses, teaching, performing. Airports, hard floors, short nights, food we did not choose. You cannot hold that for ten years on willpower. You build a way of living that carries it.

Mayra studied medicine and danced at the same time, and that curiosity never left her. So we went and studied biohacking, and then we started testing it on ourselves. Weekend after weekend, for years. What worked stayed. What did not, we let go.

What people tell us most is that we look younger than the years we have lived, and that we look fresh after a weekend that should have flattened us. That is not luck. It is what we do between the flights.

Because your biological age, the age your body is actually living at, is not the same number as the one on your passport. That is the one you can do something about. Sleep, light, food, breath, recovery. That is all biohacking really is, and that is what this guide is.

Our methodology

ConsciousBachata

We do not replace technique. We expand it.

We train the person behind the dancer. Five things, taught together instead of separately.

  1. I Technique

    Technical clarity and movement intelligence.

  2. II Embodiment

    Breath, body awareness and presence in the body.

  3. III Mindset

    Dancer mindset and emotional intelligence.

  4. IV Connection

    Conscious connection and polarity.

  5. V Expression

    Authentic expression and artistry.

Not more steps. A different way of moving, and of being met.

Come and dance with us

Bachata ConsciousRetreats

More than a retreat, an experience.

Five days, one small group of eighteen, one direction. Deep bachata training and technical workshops, holistic and somatic work through the day, conscious social dancing at night. Accommodation and all meals included.

Every edition is built around one theme and one transformation. You do not come home with more combinations. You come home moving differently.
