Synergy Dance Academy offers weekly Bachata RoleRotation classes in Utrecht (Overvliet 54) for dancers who want to learn both leading and following in an open, inclusive environment.

Our weekly classes are designed to help you grow with clarity, confidence, and joy. Whether you’re building your foundation or refining your technique, you’ll find a supportive space to explore both roles and truly develop your dance.
Mondays, 18:45-19:45
Beginners level 3
This group has already been running for a while this season and continues building on the foundations of bachata.
You already have some experience with basic steps, simple combinations, and rhythm. If that sounds like you, this is a great entry point at Synergy.
In Level 3, we go further into technique, connection, and musicality, using our RoleRotation approach. You’ll learn new combinations while also improving awareness, partner connection, and musical understanding.
This is where you move from knowing the basics to dancing with more control, confidence, and flow.

Mondays, 20:00-21:00
Improvers level 3
In Improvers Level 3, we take it up a notch. Combinations become more layered, transitions smoother, and musicality more intentional. You’ll also start working with more sensual movement like body waves, isolations, and more challenging turns.
This level is also great for intermediate dancers who want to refine their technique, improve connection, and add more depth to their dancing.
Using our RoleRotation approach, you’ll develop both sides of the dance, improving timing, awareness, and flow so everything starts to feel more natural and connected.

OUR MISSION
Synergy Dance Academy is the first dance school in the Netherlands without fixed gender roles in dance. We create a space where everyone feels welcome, equal, and free on the dance floor. That is our mission, our legacy!
what we do
bachata rolerotation
Bachata is a partner dance from the Dominican Republic, known for its rhythm, flow, and the connection between two people. It blends musicality, body movement, and emotion, making the dance feel both grounded and expressive.
At Synergy, we approach bachata differently.
We teach through RoleRotation. A method where every dancer learns both leading and following. Instead of being fixed in one role, you experience both sides of the dance.

This is at the heart of what we do.

By rotating roles, you don’t just learn steps, you understand how the dance truly works:

  • stop overthinking and enjoy movement
  • feel confident no matter which role you dance
  • stay on beat and in sync with the music
  • feel grounded, balanced, and in control
  • connect smoothly with anyone you dance with
  • feel free to express yourself and dance without limits

Learning to both guide and respond makes you a more complete dancer. It also builds communication, empathy, and adaptability on the dance floor.
RoleRotation also opens the door to dance more freely.
You’re not limited by traditional roles or expectations, you can dance with anyone. With friends, your partner, or people of any gender.
RoleRotation is more than switching roles.
It’s about breaking limitations and creating a more open, inclusive way to dance.
In our classes, we combine strong fundamentals with space to explore and most of all.. have fun!
