With the idea of combining giving classes with providing a place where people can bring his learned dance skills and share dance passion to other people. Marcus Paulo created in 2017 the Zouk vs Bachata.  A dance meeting in a small bar in Zurich called Loft One.

Supported by the Mr Carlos Jorge Pestana, Marcus started with this concept of sharing dance techniques through an open class, so preparing his guests to an joyful social dance party, that comes just after the open class.

After observing that Bachata was being a sad gap at the local dance scene, Marcus decided to take focus in it, so changing the project and naming it as Bachateros Treff, that's first dance event focused in Bachata in town.

At the beginning he played music for himself. Together to the feeling that things get more solid as people attendance, a need of an official DJ has come. So Marcus took Cenzo as his first DJ. Followed by DJ Ñoño, specialized in Bachata, that's till now the official DJ. One year later party where significantly bigger and that small event for around 30 people were now being visited weekly by around 100 people.

And it pushed Bachateros Treff to a bigger club in Kreis 5.

After a short staying, Bachateros Treff changed to Labor 5, in 2020 where it happens till nowadays by a successful partnership.

​

In 2023 Bachateros Treff had another change of name to Bachatreff but keeps same concept  and atmosphere that makes over hundred and hundred people from Zurich and proximities but dance tourists visiting Switzerland.

The list below shows the Special Editions and other Events that came from Bachatreff origins.
