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
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:
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!

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

FAQ
Got questions? Some of them might be already answered here.
Of course! Our beginner course is suitable for absolute beginners. Even if you think you can't dance, you are welcome to join the class, it's gonna be fun!
It's perfectly fine, you don't need a partner to join the classes. The beauty of role rotation is that anyone can dance with anybody else, so "role balance" is not an issue in our class. We rotate partners and roles within one session.
You don't. All participants gain the same amount of knowledge. You will lead AND follow during one class. Even if you have a background in one of the roles, there will always be plenty to learn about the other one
No special shoes or clothes are needed. Wear what is comfortable for you and your feet. A pair of sneakers would be great, but even boots are fine.
