I’ve taken classes all over the world, but Cristian and Djoy are truly one of my favourite teaching couples. They are phenomenal dancers with an incredible eye for detail in their personal feedback.
Owen
International Artist
I was looking for a bachata school in Amsterdam for two years and tried a few different places before finding my favorite: Onda. Monika and Erwin are very involved and supportive.
Regina
Intermediate
Cris & Djoy have been my first bachata teachers and I can recommend them from the beginners to the advanced level. I like the way they give feedback and their humor in class.
Yoy
Intermediate
Cristian & Djoy teach us moves that are very practical in socials. I learned that we should dance more with each other. Instead of just turning my follower and doing whatever I want, it's like a conversation.
Jeremy
Advanced
I recommend the classes for intermediate+ because you will be able to do the moves in the social right away, helping you from breaking through plateau and keep going in the right direction.
Shivam
Intermediate
What I really like is the way you guys interact with us. There is a nice ambiance and it is nice that I can practice with Monika as well. Explanations were also really good.
Patrick
Intermediate
Erwin & Monika created a relaxed and positive atmosphere. The group was friendly and supportive. Highly recommend for anyone starting out.
Falco
Advanced
Monika and Erwin are very good dancers and teachers but the vibes are even better. Classes are the perfect combination between a good challenge and a lot of fun.
Charlie
Improver
I think Erwin & Monika do an amazing job explaining the moves also from the students perception, because most of the teachers forget that part and go straight to combinations which are easy to forget.
Darya
Intermediate
We did the Bachata beginner course, and with zero experience the knowledge gained was huge. Erwin & Monika showed new moves every week and gave great guidance!
Roan
Beginner
The explanations of Erwin & Monika were very clear, the pace was just right, and the atmosphere was super fun. I learned a lot and can’t wait to try this footwork on the dance floor!
Viktoria
Advanced
Taking the step of learning a new skill has never been so much fun. Most of that is thanks to the teachers, who always bring great energy while keeping it fun and understandable.
Floris
Beginner
I really like the explanations about footwork, the technical explanation and the details. It's a little bit different than from other teachers. Come and try it out, you can learn a lot of things with them!
Leon

Hele fijne dansschool waar professioneel wordt lesgegeven en er ook ruimte is voor een grapje. Super aardige leraren.
Natalia
Improver
I really loved how the classes are built with a lot of partnerwork styling, technique and explanation to any question we have. Plus, they are super nice people!
Zuzanna
Intermediate
Ik vind het leuk dat jullie lekker jezelf zijn, dat maakt het heel leuk om te luisteren. Heel chill om ook met jullie de geleerde technieken te oefenen en dat jullie rondliepen en meedansten in de les.

Djoy & Cristian manage to keep the explanations short and simple, but also getting into details at once. What I love is that they create a nice and cool atmosphere.
Diana
Intermediate
I’m grateful to have rediscovered a passion I had buried under overthinking. M&E create such a welcoming atmosphere that it feels safe to make mistakes and grow without judgment.
