Bachata Bootcamp - four hours for life! Fernando is passionate about dancing - with a lot of joie de vivre, humor, figurative language, charm and rigor, he guides men and women in such a way that both find their figure. I felt very comfortable and learned a lot in just one day! Thank you for this great experience!

Fernando is by far the best dance teacher I have ever had. He illustrates the figures in a metaphorical way, so that you can not only internalize them better, but also have a lot of fun while learning. His way is unique. 💖 You immediately notice that he does what he does with love and passion. I think the dance school is great, the teachers are competent, the people are nice and in a good mood & the atmosphere is almost familiar, it's pure entertainment and not just mindless step learning. It's very good for the body and mind - that's why I love going to Zapatissimo! 💖

I am very positively surprised by the Zapatissimo dance school and the teachers at this school. Here you can feel from the very first moment that the classes are run with love. The staff really take care of each of us in detail and they take the time to correct our movements precisely and make sure that we don't just learn the steps, but really feel the dancing. The atmosphere is also great and you can meet really nice people here. Hats off Zapatissimo School and keep up the good work! 🙂

Fernando and the teachers give the tips that other people won't! I've been trying many schools and this is unfortunately very rare to find. The school is like a second home for me and many people that enjoy to dance in a familiar atmosphere. Every class here you will not learn only dancing steps but how to execute them with elegance and precision. Keep going like that you are making it very good!
