About our Salsa, Bachata, Lindy Hop & Forró | Brussels Dance Project - Salsa, Bachata, Lindy Hop, Forró, African Dance Classes

Story Team Missions

From the passion for dancing Salsa and the willingness to help others to experience it, an idea was born: a Structured Beginner Program in Brussels that will make people ready to go to Salsa parties and dance with anyone.

Such program was developed based on my dancing experiences in Venezuela, Mexico, Portugal, Bulgaria, United Kingdom and Belgium. It aims to help people getting comfortable with their bodies, the steps, the music and the different partners. Thus, through the sessions, students will focus on the fundamentals (Rhythm & Music, Partnering Principles, Posture & Body Movement) while practicing a lot of Footwork & Pair Work.

With the amazing Salsa experiences in the lovely city of Brussels, the growth of the students and the expansion of the team, we've intensified the dance experience. We've added: a Salsa LA Improvers Program, Parties, a Bachata Beginner Program, a Salsa LA Intermediate Program, a Bachata Improvers Program, a Swing/Lindy Hop Beginner Program, a Swing/Solo Jazz Program, an African Danses Program, a Lady Styling Program, a Swing/Lindy Hop Improvers Program and Forró Programs - Intro, Modules and Roots.

It's an immense pleasure to help our students in their dance journey and to see them growing and enjoying dancing Salsa, Bachata, Lindy Hop, Forró and African Danses. We have even more exciting things to add and we'd love you to experience them.

Join us in our Dance spots in Brussels:

See you there,

Meet the Team

Lysandra

Her dance journey started when she was 6 years old. This allowed Lysandra to build a wide and versatile background composed by different dances: Modern jazz, Hip hop, Contemporary, Belly dance, among others.

Upon her discovery of Lindy Hop and other Swing dances, dancing took the center stage in her life. Finding the rawness and the freedom her inner self was maybe searching, she got hooked ever since, training hard and consistently to improve her skills, and to meet her real self through dancing.

She's part of the Brussels based "Jazz Maniacs" and "The Jassettes" dance crews. She likes to focus on self-expression, improvisation, fast tempi and acrobatics.

You'll find Lysandra teaching Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz but also Salsa and Bachata as she’s experienced in those latin dances.

Dedicated and an enthusiastic teacher, attentive to students and their self-development, she's always trying to apply new pedagogical tools and will be very happy to share with you, her knowledge.

Maroine

A multidisciplinary artist who blends theater, music, and dance into a unique art form. An actor, director, and acting teacher, Maroine is also a violinist, oud player, and dancer in the “Jazz Maniacs” crew.

Inspired by Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and Harlem's swing culture of the 20s-40s, he sees dance as a theatrical stage where movement, rhythm, and self-expression come together in total freedom.

In his classes, Maroine shares this spirit of creativity and liberation - join him and experience the magic of swing!

Anita

Already as a kid, Anita spent quite some time in a dance school watching her parents take classes. Then in her teenage years she hit the dancefloor and joined a show group.

During her studies, she discovered Salsa, Bachata and Merengue. For many years she then enjoyed ballroom dancing, both Standard and Latin, while also exploring Boogie Woogie for some time.

Salsa though has remained a constant throughout her dancing career and is Anita’s favorite dance to this day.

As a teacher, Anita wants to give confidence to her students and encourages them to believe in their abilities. While the pace of learning might be different, everyone can learn how to dance!

Francisco

Originally from Aguascalientes, Mexico, Francisco started dancing ballroom in 2009 and later fell in love with Latin dances in Madrid. Now in Brussels, he’s deep in Bachata and exploring Salsa Caleña.

With Cumbia and Banda in his roots, rhythm runs deep in him. Passionate about the groove and the art of leading, he makes dance clear, musical, and fun. In class, Francisco combines focus with a relaxed vibe, helping you build confidence, enjoy the music, and discover the magic of dancing.

André

Low profile by day, a dance machine by night!

After playing the guitar in the university’s band, André decided to explore dancing. While starting in ballroom, soon discovered Salsa and embarked on a journey that revolutionized his life.

That journey led him to travel and live in Latin America and several other countries. It was enriched with more Afro-Latin dances (Bachata, Kizomba, Tango), Urban Dances (Hip-Hop, Locking, Popping), and Contemporary Dance culminating with a stage performance.

Now in Belgium, he’s dedicated to sharing his experience. His Salsa Program in Brussels as well as the Bachata and Lindy Hop programs will get you party-ready and confident to dance with anyone.
