Extravadanza Bachata Congress returns to Mainz from Friday 18 to Monday 21 September 2026 at the Alte Lokhalle, a spacious former locomotive hall. Run by DNA Dance Projects, the congress has grown from the old Extravadanza Bachata Weekend into one of the larger bachata events in Germany. Expect 30+ workshops with VIP advanced classes, the German Styling Battle, professional and amateur shows, and day and night socials. Passes run from an €89 Blind Pass to a €139 Full Pass and a €179 VIP Pass. Book early and use promo code BACHATALOVESME for a discount on your pass.
DNA Dance Projects has a strong track record and high organiser ratings, which is a good sign for floor quality and running order. The Alte Lokhalle is a striking industrial venue, and the styling battle is a real signature that sets this congress apart. The full lineup was still being confirmed at the time of writing, so check the official channels if a specific artist is the reason you are going.
