Bachata is a beautifully sensual partner dance, originated in the countryside of the Dominican Republic that grew out of pan Latin-American romantic style – bolero. It gained worldwide popularity due to its’ heartbreaking tales, romance & sadness in the music & lyrics. Over time it gained influence from merengue and a variety of Latin American guitar styles.
Usually, music is slower and simpler than salsa, however, that does not exclude possibility for a broad variety of dance patterns, turns and combinations.
To join the class – no previous dance experience necessary! We are focusing on the different Bachata styles, such as Sensual & Moderna. New partner-work combinations will be introduced each week with a focus on body rhythm, styling and execution.
