WHAT IS IT SENSUAL BACHATA?
Sensual bachata was created in Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain, by Korke Escalona and Judith Cordero.
Korke learned the basics of bachata in 1998; then he started developing his own dance style by understanding how the leader (traditionally a man) could lead the body of the follower (traditionally a woman) to interpret the music. Sensual bachata is an independent dance form with strict lead and follow principles. The dance is an interpretation of the music with mostly circular movements and body waves. When the music has stronger beats, however, the dance also uses isolations and dips.
ABOUT US:
Main instructor: Jan Tabaka is a fitness trainer, acrobatics instructor and Thai yoga masseuse during the day and latin dancer at night for over 10years now 🙂 Jan has founded Bristol Bachata school 7 years ago after thousands of hours of learning latin dances mentored by top international teachers in the world, including masterclasses with Korke & Judith (creators of bachata sensual), Luis y Andrea, Gero y Migle, Kike y Nahir and many top teachers in the world.
