Salsa & Bachata at El Templo, Heidelberg

El Templo is a teaching-first dance studio in Neuenheim that runs a formal Escuela Professional Bachata program alongside regular salsa and bachata classes. The school is listed at Rahmengasse 21 (Nähe Bismarckplatz) and presents itself as a broader performing-arts space, theatre, circus and dance share the venue, so expect a studio setting rather than a club room. Courses are advertised from Anfänger to Fortgeschrittene; you can register without a partner and participant numbers are limited.

Fridays are the main social night here: a short class followed by an open social (pricing shown as class+social €5, social only €8). This is an organised, class-led evening rather than a late‑night party, and the floor usually opens for social dancing once the lesson finishes. If you’re coming the night before travel, book the class if you want the easiest way onto the floor; check the website or the listed WhatsApp/phone contact for exact times and any ticket sales or marathon/festival events that might change the schedule.
