Bachata in Netherlands

Discover Bachata dancing events across 5 cities in Netherlands

Bachata in the Netherlands runs almost entirely through Amsterdam, with a smaller scene in Rotterdam. Together the two cities host 15 weekly socials. Amsterdam carries most of them, so plan a trip there first. Friday is the strongest night, and you can find a social most days from Sunday through Saturday. Bachata shares the floor with salsa (17 weekly events) and kizomba (11), so many nights mix styles. Entry is often cheap or free, and dancing alone is normal. Amsterdam also hosts several bachata festivals, including the A'dam Bachata Festival in November. If you have one weekend, base yourself in Amsterdam and check the schedule and festival list below.
