The night

One hour to dance with the whole room.

We start with the basics of konpa and bachata, switching partners every song: the ice breaks by itself.

Made for beginners

Two intro classes to learn the basics, with teachers who get everyone dancing.

A balanced room

As many women as men: spots are split from the moment you book.

The party after

Once you have the steps, it is time for the dance party on the ground floor.

The two dances

Haiti, 1955

Konpa

Born in Port⁠-⁠au⁠-⁠Prince with Nemours Jean⁠-⁠Baptiste’s “compas direct”, konpa is danced as a couple, close together, on a steady sway of the hips. The steps are simple: in ten minutes, you are on the beat.

The music. A relaxed, rolling tempo, guitars and horns, from Tabou Combo to T⁠-⁠Vice.

Dominican Republic, 1960s

Bachata

Born in the working⁠-⁠class neighbourhoods of Santo Domingo, bachata has become one of the most danced Latin styles in the world. Four beats, a small side step, a soft connection between partners.

The music. Guitars that sing about love, from Aventura to Romeo Santos.

Questions

Can I come on my own?

Yes, that is the whole idea. Classes rotate partners, so you meet everyone naturally.

I have never danced.

Perfect. Classes start with the basic steps, and everyone is there to have fun.

Why pick “woman” or “man”?

To keep as many women as men on the dance floor. The price is the same for everyone.

Where is it?

In Brussels. The exact venue is revealed to you when you buy your ticket: it is written on it.

How do I get my ticket?

You get a confirmation email right after paying. Your name is on the list at the door: an ID is all you need.

What if I can no longer come?

Tickets are non⁠-⁠refundable, but your spot can be transferred to a friend: write to us at hello@getdatecards.com with their first and last name and your ticket number (written under the QR code). If we cancel or postpone the night, you get a full refund.

How do I pay?

Bancontact, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, on a secure payment page run by Stripe.
