Fabrica de Salsa

Fabrica de Salsa is one of the most established and welcoming dance schools in Basel, centrally located at Steinenvorstadt 33, with excellent public transport access and nearby parking. Founded around 25 years ago by Luis González, the school follows the philosophy that everyone—regardless of background, age, or talent—can learn to dance. The team lives this belief through time, humor, and personalized guidance.

The school offers a diverse program of courses and workshops: Salsa (On 1, On 2), Bachata (Dominican style), Lady Styling, and other styles like Cha-Cha-Cha, Rueda de Casino, or Argentine Tango. Classes are held in small groups of up to five couples, ensuring high-quality instruction and individual attention. The program also includes monthly workshop days, private lessons, and customized group or corporate events.

Fabrica de Salsa is also known for its regular social events, such as the monthly "Salsa in der Mitte" evening and Friday night practicas at the studio. Since 2019, the school has also organized the popular Basel Salsa Marathon, a three-day non-stop dance event with over 30 hours of music, international DJs, and a warm, family-like atmosphere.

The studio features modern amenities including a parquet floor, mirrored walls, professional sound system, lounge area, kitchen, shower, and restroom—an inspiring space to experience and share a passion for Salsa, Bachata, and Latin Dance. Gift vouchers for courses, workshops, or private lessons are also available and make perfect gifts full of joy, energy, and rhythm.
