🎶 What is Bachata?
Bachata is a traditional music and dance style from the Dominican Republic, rooted in Afro-Caribbean rhythms, heartfelt lyrics, and social connection. Unlike modern ballroom or sensual styles, Dominican-style Bachata emphasizes rhythm, footwork, improvisation, and a relaxed, natural partner connection. It’s about feeling the music and expressing it—your way.
