Salsa

Course with Francesco Batti


“My courses are open to everyone – especially to those who believe they have two left feet.” Francesco wants to give his participants the steps and self-confidence in the first lessons so that they quickly feel like they belong to the Latin community. The experienced lecturer and choreographer has been spreading the joy of life of salsa and bachata at tanzhaus nrw since 2004. “For me it’s not primarily about dance technique, but about the feeling!”

Registration only possible in pairs.

Francesco Batti

When Francesco Battigaglia wound up in a Salsa club in Miami completely by chance during a holiday, he was hooked. The colourful mixture of people he encountered, the effortlessness on display as well as the music sparked a Salsa fire in him. Originally a primary school and languages teacher, he gave up his vocation to completely dedicate his future life to dance and “would do so again in a heartbeat.” During an era when Latin-American dance was barely established in Germany, Francesco set about acquainting himself with the various local facets of Salsa on-site in New York, Puerto Rico and Cuba. As the first instructor in North Rhine-Westphalia, he also offers Salsa lady styling.
