Bailamos Latino

Bailamos Latino was founded in 2009 by Erik van Gestel, starting with just 40 students. Over the years, the school has grown into the largest Latin dance school in the region, now welcoming hundreds of active dancers every week.

Erik was born in Panama, Latin America, and the name Bailamos Latino reflects both his heritage and his deep passion for dance, which he has developed over the past three decades. His background and enthusiasm bring an authentic Latin spirit to every class and event.

In addition to the dance school, Erik founded Libre Dance and More in Breda, a dance venue that hosts several dance schools and attracts an average of 500 visitors each week for lessons and parties.
