ALCHEMY BOOTCAMP WEEKENDS...
The Ultimate Learning Experience

Marchant & Davina's Alchemy Bootcamp Weekends (formerly MAD Salsa Bootcamps) are a revolutionary concept in salsa dance education. This is a unique opportunity for you to train intensively in an intimate friendly environment, where you won't get lost in the crowd. You will get a weekend of total On2 immersion with additional elements such as Cha Cha and Body Movement. These residential weekends consist of 2 full days of progressive workshops taught by Marchant & Davina Birch who are highly respected in the salsa world for their innovative and outstanding quality of teaching, and 2 nights of dancing. Since launching the concept in 2010 there have been 35 Bootcamp weekends to date (including bootcamps in Norway and Trinidad), every one a sell-out event with more than a thousand dancers coming to learn with Marchant and Davina from across the world. 

" I don't think I can put into words how much I enjoyed this weekend. Two amazing teachers - the best. I have learnt so much. 

Everyone was friendly and relaxed. I really enjoyed the fact that this was a small group."

  • Most Bootcamps are fully residential with hotel accommodation, breakfast & dinner included in the price. See individual bootcamp for options and venues.

The bootcamps are limited to approximately 40 people, with an even ratio of men & women. There are different levels of bootcamps to enable you spend a weekend learning with dancers of a similar level. 

These are weekends for salsa dancers with a hunger to learn and develop. The aim is for you to achieve growth and development in your dancing over the weekend, and leave with a real sense of achievement... AND we have a lot of fun in the process!
