Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our classes, events, and membership.
Registration
How do i sign up for classes or events?
You can sign up for our regular classes via the online webshop here: WEEKLY CLASSES & SIGN UP
Can I get a discount if I register for multiple classes?
Yes, if you sign up for more than one regular course in the same season, you receive a discount for each additional course.
To get this discount, add the discount code shown in your cart and below to your additional course(s)
Remember, you can only get the discount if you (one person) sign up for more courses – if you sign up with a partner or friend, you both pay the full price for your first course (your registration will be cancelled if you apply the code to a course that you don’t have the right to apply it to).

Can I pre-register for next season if the current one is full?
No, we do not reserve spots for future seasons. You can sign up here WEEKLY CLASSES & SIGN UP as soon as we announce the new season (usually 3-4 weeks in advance of season start)
Levels & Format
How do I know which level is right for me?
There is a description of the level under each class in here WEEKLY CLASSES & SIGN UP. If you are in doubt about your level, please ask an instructor, or send an email to bachatahousecph@gmail.com, and we will try to guide you in the right direction.
For Intermediate 2 and Advanced there is a screening, so you need a green light from an instructor to sign up. You can get that from your instructor at your current course (talk with them in a break or after class). If you are not a current Bachata House student, the easiest way is to go to a Bachata House Sunday Social or event and talk with one of the instructors there.
What happens if I sign up for the wrong level?
If you or your instructor decides that the level you are signed up for is not the right one for you, we can transfer your sign up to another course, as long as there are spaces available. If there are no free spaces, you will receive a refund for the classes you have left of the course.
At Bachata House we care a lot about ensuring high quality teaching and learning in our classes, and to do this, taking classes at the right level is crucial. This means that if an instructor assesses that the level you are signed up for is not the right for you, we reserve the right to change your sign up to another level – if you are not able to join the recommended class, we will refund you for the remaining classes
Do I need a partner to register?
No you do not need a partner to join our classes. Bachata is a social dance, so the classes are structured around partner rotation, to make sure you try the moves with as many partners as possible.
Do we dance with the same partner throughout the class, or do we rotate?
Bachata is a social dance, so in Bachata House we structure our classes around partner rotation. In this way, you learn how to dance with everyone on the dance floor – and it’s a great way to meet new people 🙂
If you want to dance with only your partner anyway, that is also OK – just let your teacher know 🙂
Is it possible to sign up to only a few classes or do drop in?
No, it is only possible to sign up for a full season as we are always balancing leaders and followers for the entire season in our classes
Practical Info
What should I wear to class?
For dancing it is important that you feel comfortable. So we recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and indoor shoes for the classes.
If you own dance shoes, feel free to wear them, but they are not a requirement.
If you want recommendations for dance clothes and shoes, you are always welcome to ask one of our teachers for tips 🙂
What should I know about hygiene and etiquette in class?
Yes, we know, it’s not a question, but it is very important nonetheless 😉
We are standing very close for the duration of the class, and bad hygiene can be quite uncomfortable for your dance partner.
SO! Come fresh, showered and with a clean mouth and/or a chewing gum – no one wants to smell your lunch 😉
If you come straight from work or school, and don’t have time to shower, a fresh t-shirt and a deodorant can go a long way to making the dance more comfortable for your dance partner. Nobody says it like El Tiguere: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10153756314628540
Cancellations
What if I regret signing up - can I get a refund or change my registration?
For weekly classes, refunds can be given upon request up to 10 days before the start of the course. After that, refunds will not be given, but you can change the name of the reservation free of charge (remember, a leader spot cannot be sold to a follower, and the other way around). If you wish to get a refund, please send us an e-mail at bachatahousecph@gmail.com.
For events, workshops, socials etc, no refunds will be given. You can change the name of the reservation for a fee of 50DKK (remember, a leader spot cannot be sold to a follower, and the other way around).
If I can't attend a class, can I transfer my spot to someone else?
In our weekly classes, it has to be the same person attending the entire course.
Each course at Bachata House is progressive, meaning that we build each class on what has been taught in previous classes during season. As such it is not possible to pass your attendance of individual classes to someone else.
It is however possible to change the name of a reservation before the course starts (the same rules for level and screening apply). The same goes for workshops and other events.
I’m going on a bachata trip but can’t edit the Google sheet/doc Katinka shared in the Messenger group chat – how does it work?
