About this studio
Bachata Bern runs the Bachata Day Party, a weekly Sunday event at Dance Passion on Dalmaziquai in central Bern. Each event follows the same structure: a one-hour workshop starting at 16:00, followed by three hours of social dancing and live DJ from 17:00 to 20:00. The workshops are open level, making them accessible to dancers of all abilities.
The events feature guest instructors from across Switzerland. Recent and upcoming workshop leaders have included Alini and Salem, Andrijana and Vinc, and Julia and Till. A DJ named G provides music throughout. The venue describes itself as a non-profit, passion-driven operation organised on a cost-covering basis.
Pricing is kept deliberately low. Workshops cost CHF 15, with a discount to CHF 10 for full-time students. The three-hour party costs CHF 10 (CHF 5 for students). Combined workshop-and-party tickets cost CHF 25 (CHF 15 for students). These prices reflect the stated commitment to fair and transparent pricing.
The community is the draw here. Bachata Bern describes itself as a meeting point for bachata lovers across Switzerland, with dancers travelling from across the country each Sunday. The event emphasises social connection, new friendships, and a warm community atmosphere alongside the dancing itself. The venue actively invites workshop instructors to apply and share their knowledge with the community.
