THE FOUNDERS

Ale y Xidan

Ale and Xidan - Founders of AXcent Dance

We are Alessandro and Xidan, the founders of AXcent Dance. Our journey began with a shared passion for Bachata Sensual and a vision to create a dance school that goes beyond just teaching steps. We believe in building a community where everyone feels welcome, supported, and inspired to express themselves.

As International Artists

We have shared our passion in over 12 countries. We are also proud to serve as official judges for the Swiss Championship IDO and are active event organizers, dedicated to elevating the dance community.

Our Philosophy

Our teaching methodology is built on a strong foundation of technique, musicality, and connection. We don't just teach you what to do, but how to do it with style and fluidity. We draw inspiration from various dance styles to create a unique and modern approach to Bachata.
