This is not a class.
Not a workshop.
It’s a 4-hour intensive for dancers who want real technique — clear, structured, and instantly applicable.

The Bachata Influence Bootcamp is not a class or a workshop, it’s a structured, 4-hour intensive designed to help you understand, train and embody the core principles of Bachata Influence.
With Manuel & Nergiz, you break down BI step by step:
clear concepts, clean mechanics and focused practice.
No figure collecting.
No casual dancing.
Just real technique.
If you want to go beyond surface-level moves and truly master how Bachata Influence works, this is the training that gives you the foundation.
The Bachata Influence Bootcamp is for dancers who want to go deeper than regular classes or workshops and who want to truly understand how Bachata Influence works.
This Bootcamp builds step by step. We don’t just show moves — we train the concepts, techniques and the mechanics behind the moves. This gives you clarity and confidence in your dancing.
If collecting combinations isn’t enough for you, this is the place. Here, figures are only tools — the real focus is connection, precision and the principles that define Bachata Influence.
This Bootcamp is not casual. It’s intensive, technical and structured — for people who want to sweat, repeat and practice until the concepts become part of their dance.
This episode is about one thing:
how to lead and follow energy.
Energy Leading vs. Continuum Leading is the foundation of BI dynamics and the key to clean, safe, expressive movement.
After a quick reset of Breathing and Basic Positions, we go straight into application.
Hip Throws and Head Rolls are the tools we use to make these concepts real, controlled and precise.
Bachata Influence stands or falls with one thing:
how energy is created, guided and released.
Without clear Energy Leading and Continuum Leading, BI movement becomes unstable — messy timing, unclear intention, weak connection.
These principles define everything:
flow, contrast, expression, safety, and the lines BI is known for.
Most dancers don’t struggle because the moves are difficult
they struggle because the energy logic behind the move is wrong.
By using these movements as tools, you feel exactly how BI energy should travel, change and connect.
Once the concept is clear, the execution becomes natural.
A short reset to unify our foundation: the essential BI Basic Positions, our frame, and the breathing technique that supports stability and control — so everyone starts from the same base.
Understand how energy is created, guided and released in BI. This is the core principle behind clean, safe and expressive movement.
We train Hip Throws in different BI positions — how the move works, how energy travels, how to lead and follow it with control, and how to respond to different intensities. You’ll learn how to refine your technique, add styling and expression, and understand every essential variation in any situation.
You’ll learn all essential Head Roll mechanics: prep, levels, flow, timing and energy control. We train how to lead, follow and adapt Head Rolls safely, improve expression and dynamics, and execute every variation with clarity and confidence.
We connect all concepts — energy, breathing, mechanics and timing — so the movements become natural, reliable and usable in real dancing.
Most dancers spend years collecting figures and patterns – but progress stays slow, because the bigger picture is missing. When you focus on fundamental concepts and techniques, every new move makes sense, every detail connects, and your growth becomes exponential.
“As a dancer, you are the sum of the concepts you truly understand and can apply.”

12:00 – Registration & Check-in
Arrive, settle in, and get ready for an intensive day of Bachata Influence.
12:30 – 14:30 | Workshop Block
Basic Positions & Breathing Reset
A quick alignment so everyone starts from the same foundation.
Hip Throws — Technique & Mechanics
How the move works, how energy travels, and how to execute Hip Throws safely and cleanly.
Hip Throws — Continuum vs. Energy Leading
Training how to lead & follow Hip Throws using both BI leading principles — controlled flow vs. intentional energy.
14:30 – 15:30 | Pizza Break & Discussions
Recharge together with pizza, share ideas, ask questions, and connect with the group in a relaxed atmosphere.
15:30 – 17:30 | Workshop Block 2
Head Rolls — Technique & Mechanics
Prep, levels, flow, and the body mechanics behind clean, expressive Head Rolls.
Head Rolls — Continuum vs. Energy Leading
Training how energy shifts, how to lead & follow safely, and how expression changes through different BI energy styles.
Integration
Combining all concepts — breathing, mechanics, energy, timing — into real BI movement.
17:30 – 18:30 | Guided Practice Session
Train together in a safe environment – not a party, but focused practice.
Test the new techniques, repeat with feedback, and make the concepts stick.
The Bachata Influence Bootcamp is not for everyone – and that’s intentional. We want to create a focused training space for dancers who are serious about their growth.
If you’re only looking for new combinations to use at the next party, this isn’t the place. We work with concepts, techniques and mechanics — not routines.
Bachata Influence is about precision, body awareness, and deep concepts. If technique and fundamentals don’t excite you, this training won’t match your expectations.
The Bootcamp runs for several hours and requires full focus on principles and training. If you’re looking for light entertainment or an easy-going workshop, this is not it.
When you join the Bachata Influence Bootcamp, you don’t just get another workshop —
you get a full training experience designed to give you long-term growth in your dancing.
⭐ BONUS: Access to the Episode 2 - Online Training Portal

written models for deeper understanding
examples for energy work, leading logic & variations
mobile-friendly access — review anytime, anywhere
You can revisit every concept from the Bootcamp, refine your execution and continue training long after the event ends.
In short
You’ll walk away with a deep understanding of the core BI concepts — plus an online program that helps you keep improving at home after the Bootcamp.

Max. 30 spots available — balanced to 15 leaders and 15 followers for high-quality training.
No.
Episode 2 includes a short reset of Basic Positions and Breathing so everyone starts from the same foundation.
You don’t need Episode 1 — you only need focus, curiosity, and a willingness to train.
You don’t need to be advanced — but you should have stable Bachata basics.
If you’re ready for technical, focused training and enjoy learning deeper concepts and mechanics, you’ll fit perfectly.
Yes.
As long as you’re open to learning the BI method, which works differently than Sensual.
Your Sensual background can even help you understand the mechanics faster — and the BI concepts will also elevate your Sensual dancing, giving you more body awareness, control and expressive possibilities.
In our understanding, combinations are simply a sequence of moves.
We don’t teach combinations — but we use moves to explain the concepts behind them.
The focus is always on technique and deeper understanding.
Moves happen naturally as a result of applying the concept.
No.
You can join alone — we rotate partners.
We also balance leaders and followers to ensure a smooth training experience.
You’ll get access to the Episode 2 Online Training Portal with technique videos, explanations, written models and examples.
Perfect for refining everything at home after the Bootcamp.
Not in a cardio way.
It’s mentally intensive — focused on concentration, precision and technical repetition over several hours.
Important: Limited Spots
We want every dancer to get the full experience – that’s why the Bootcamp is limited to 30 spots only.
To keep the training balanced, we are carefully matching leaders and followers.
