Are you completely obsessed with Bachata?
Then get ready to lose yourself in five days of pure rhythm, passion, and unstoppable energy at the Bachata Obsesión Melbourne Festival — November 12–16, 2026!
Dive into a world where the music hits deeper, the nights run longer, and every dance feels electric.
Experience intensive workshops, wild themed parties, thrilling competitions, and awesome performances—all designed to ignite your senses and pull you deeper into the obsession!
You’ll be sharing the floor with passionate dancers from all over Australia and beyond, each ready to vibe, connect, and lose themselves in the rhythm with you.
We’ve already locked in two incredible world-class international couples, with more surprises to come.
Our personal all-time faves and Bachata royalty Luis & Andrea are coming to Melbourne for the first time, all the way from Spain! They have been one of the top few couples in the world for the last 10 years and known for their romantic, unique & technical brand of Bachata Sensual.
We are also lucky to have the increasingly popular superstars on the rise Jerem & Jade with their amazing brand of BachaZouk coming to Australia for their first time from France via Brazil!
We can't wait to learn from and dance with these four incredible world-class talents!
We also have workshops by other international and national artists from around Australia ranging from open level to intermediate-advanced.
After seven years of running events, classes, socials, and weekenders for Melbourne’s dance community, we’re finally unleashing our most ambitious experience yet—a festival crafted to thrill, tease, and captivate you from the first song to the last.
