Meet the Founder

Alba García Morell

Founder & Dance Instructor

With over two decades of experience in dance, Alba has built an exceptionally versatile artistic background combining technical training, stage performance and Latin dance.

She began with ballet and jazz at an early age and later completed her professional training at Coco Comin Barcelona, qualifying as a Professional Musical Theatre Dancer. Her multidisciplinary education includes ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, hip hop, tap dance, Spanish dance and movement technique, complemented by additional training in acrobatics and pole dance.

At 19, Alba discovered Salsa in Valencia, marking the beginning of a journey into social dance that would continue across different countries. In Germany, she expanded her background through Standard & Ballroom Dance training from beginner to advanced level, before deepening her Salsa expertise through specialized teacher-training seminars with multiple Salsa champions Adrián & Anita, as well as Ladies Styling training with Anita Santos Rubín, one of her strongest artistic influences.

Her development in Bachata has been shaped by years of practice, teaching and continuous training through international workshops and congresses, learning from some of the most influential names in the scene, including Korke & Judith, pioneers of Bachata Sensual, and Anthony & Belén.

This combination of disciplines and styles has shaped Alba’s approach to teaching into something that goes far beyond simply learning steps. Her classes bring together technique, musicality, connection, body movement and attention to detail, while always staying true to the essence of Barcelona Move: learning to dance with confidence, feeling good in your body, and enjoying every step of the journey.

I really enjoy dancing here. I came here as a complete beginner with absolutely no sense of rhythm, and now, after a while, I’m really enjoying it and I’ve made progress, too. I can 💯% recommend this dance school to anyone who likes to dance, have fun, and make new friends. Alba is absolutely great💃🏼

Fantastic dance teacher and a great atmosphere! My partner and I were previously at another dance school where we didn't learn nearly as much. Alba manages to teach with humor and sensitivity (while still maintaining a touch of perfectionism), making it always fun.

I’ve been dancing at Barcelona Move for about a year now, and I absolutely love it. I came for a trial class and basically never left! The energy is amazing, and the teacher is fantastic. She has so much passion and joy for dancing, and you can’t help but catch that energy. I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else now. Even after a year, I’m still amazed by how quickly I’ve learned and improved. I never would have thought you could learn to dance this well in such a short time. Highly recommended!
