Hosted by Fernando & Lux
Fernando is a psychotherapist and Lux is a relationship specialist. Together, they combine their understanding of human development, relationships, embodiment, and psychologically informed learning with professional Latin dance training.
Alongside their professional work, they have performed on international stages and founded Latin Dance Muscat, where they established and cultivated a vibrant Latin dance community. Their shared intention is not simply to teach people how to dance, but to create an environment where people naturally grow while learning to dance.
What is Salsa & Bachata Social Dance Immersion?
More than learning Salsa and Bachata, this six-month immersion is a psychologically informed learning experience designed to cultivate confidence, social connection, personal growth, and the ability to dance comfortably in social settings.
Designed by a psychotherapist and a relationship specialist, the programme combines progressive Latin dance instruction with embodied learning, reflective practices, group sharing, and community experiences.
Whether you have never danced before or would simply like to reconnect with yourself and others through movement, you are warmly welcome.
No partner or previous dance experience is required.
Who Is This Immersion For?
This immersion is suitable for adults aged 18 and above who would like to:
- Learn Salsa and Bachata from the beginning
- Become confident social dancers
- Develop greater personal and social confidence
- Improve communication and relationship skills
- Feel more comfortable and expressive in their bodies
- Meet like-minded people
- Experience personal growth through movement
- Become part of a welcoming dance community
You may join individually, with a friend, or with a partner.
No previous dance experience is required. You are warmly welcome, even if you have two left feet.
A Different Way to Learn
Most dance classes focus primarily on steps and technique. Our intention reaches further.
Every aspect of this immersion has been thoughtfully designed to create a psychologically safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where participants develop not only as dancers, but also as individuals.
Through Salsa and Bachata, you will explore confidence, communication, trust, emotional expression, body awareness, relationships, and authentic human connection.
By the end of the six-month immersion, you will have developed the practical skills to enjoy Salsa and Bachata socially, alongside greater confidence in yourself and your ability to relate to others.
More Than Learning to Dance
Social dance creates opportunities to notice how we move, communicate, respond, connect, lead, follow, trust, and express ourselves.
Each session combines dance instruction with carefully guided experiences that encourage embodied awareness, reflection, interpersonal learning, and personal development.
This is not group therapy, nor is it simply a traditional dance class. It is a psychologically informed educational experience where social dance becomes a practical pathway to confidence, connection, and growth.
What You Can Expect to Develop
Confidence: Become more comfortable expressing yourself, taking initiative, and moving beyond familiar limitations.
Social Confidence: Feel increasingly at ease meeting new people, joining social gatherings, and dancing with different partners.
Connection: Develop the presence, openness, and interpersonal awareness needed to create meaningful human connection.
Communication: Strengthen verbal and non-verbal communication through listening, leading, following, responding, and shared movement.
Relationships: Explore trust, respect, boundaries, cooperation, and mutual awareness in ways that can enrich your relationships beyond the dance floor.
Presence: Cultivate the ability to remain grounded and engaged with yourself, your partner, the music, and the present moment.
Body Awareness: Develop greater awareness of posture, balance, breathing, coordination, movement, and physical expression.
Emotional Expression: Discover greater freedom and authenticity in expressing yourself through movement and interaction.
Trust & Surrender: Practise leading, following, giving, receiving, and releasing excessive control within a respectful environment.
Inhibitions & Freedom: Gently move beyond self-consciousness and become more comfortable being seen, participating, and expressing yourself.
Sensuality & Embodiment: Explore sensuality as grounded body awareness, presence, confidence, and respectful connection rather than performance.
Community & Belonging: Become part of a welcoming community where friendships and mutual support develop through shared experiences.
What You Will Learn
Across the six-month immersion, you will progressively learn:
- Salsa foundations
- Bachata foundations
- Rhythm and timing
- Balance and coordination
- Individual and partner movement
- Leading and following
- Partner connection
- Turns and combinations
- Musicality and interpretation
- Improvisation
- Social dance etiquette

The programme is designed to take you from your first steps toward becoming a comfortable and confident social dancer.
What Happens During the Sessions?
Each session thoughtfully integrates:
- Progressive Salsa and Bachata instruction
- Individual and partner exercises
- Guided social dance practice
- Confidence-building experiences
- Embodied awareness practices
- Reflective learning moments
- Small-group conversations and sharing
- Opportunities to connect learning with everyday life
Dance remains at the heart of the immersion, while reflection and group learning help participants understand and integrate the personal development emerging through the experience.
