WHAT IS THE BAC After many years of thinking about a way to bridge the gap between the arts and the public, the idea for the Braswell Arts Center was born. Since 2017, the BAC has provided a space for creativity, collaboration and innovation in all art forms. We pride ourselves on offering dance classes and other artistic experiences for all ages, levels and body types, as well as creating new initiatives for underprivileged children and development opportunities for aspiring artists. The BAC is available for dance performances, concerts, gallery exhibitions and special events. Through arts education and exchange, BAC seeks to encourage collaboration, creation, networking and entrepreneurship within the local and international arts community.

Founded around 25 years ago by Luis González, the school follows the philosophy that everyone—regardless of background, age, or talent—can learn to dance. The team lives this belief through time, humor, and personalized guidance. The school offers a diverse program of courses and workshops: Salsa (On 1, On 2), Bachata (Dominican style), Lady Styling, and other styles like Cha-Cha-Cha, Rueda de Casino, or Argentine Tango. Classes are held in small groups of up to five couples, ensuring high-quality instruction and individual attention. The program also includes monthly workshop days, private lessons, and customized group or corporate events. Fabrica de Salsa is also known for its regular social events, such as the monthly "Salsa in der Mitte" evening and Friday night practicas at the studio. Since 2019, the school has also organized the popular Basel Salsa Marathon, a three-day non-stop dance event with over 30 hours of music, international DJs, and a warm, family-like atmosphere.
