Frequently Asked Questions

Is it going to be Bachata dancing and Bachata music all weekend long?

Evening parties are a balanced blend between bachata, salsa and cha cha. It's just like a salsa social, but with extra bachata!
Workshops are mostly bachata;

Do I need a partner to take the workshops?

No. Most people come without one. You'll rotate partners during the workshops and the GoDanceMambo volunteers will be there to balance partner ratios.

I don't know any bachata. Can I still participate in this event?

If you've had any movement classes, or any partner dancing, yes. There is an intro to bachata on Friday night. Saturday and Sunday you will join the Beginner/Intermediate levels on the main floor. You can also become more prepared by taking our Bachata Bootcamp July-Sept or Sept-Dec 2010.

What are the payment methods? Paypal, cash. Please email info@godancmambo.com if you want to pay by cheque.

I just want to take one workshop during the weekend.

We apologize however we are not selling workshops by the hour. They are 4 hours long and you need to purchase the whole block. This way people aren't coming in and out, arriving late, and causing distractions. We also maintain equal partners throughout the day.

I don't want to buy earlybird tickets as I may be away that weekend for work. Can I pay as I go?

Yes. View all package prices here. Just know that the earlybirds guarantee your spot. If we sell out, there's a high risk you won't be able to take workshops as we have limited capacity. Pay as you go is also higher in price.

Can i film the workshops? Not the whole hour. Ask your instructor if he/she is ok with filming the last 5 minutes ie condensed version of the workshop.

Can i film the evening shows? Yes.

How many workshop tickets are there? What is the capacity?

There are 600 tickets available.
