Bachata
Evolution of bachata
Traditional Bachata
Its origin is in the United States and Europe and it is the most danced style in the world. With very romantic nuances, twists, visual drops and a hip strike on beats 4 and 8.
Sensual Bachata
It is an evolution of the traditional one, with more importance to the expression and the variety of movements. Usually short distances are used and the couple maintains very little space between one another. The most important thing is the eye contact and expression between the couple, more than the turns or the work of feet.
Dominican Bachata
It is also called "original bachata". The passages are usually free, made side by side and without turning, in more open or closed positions.
Modern Bachata
The current Bachata has been introducing different styles, as is the case of crosses, called crosses. Its execution is by crossing the feet in all the steps, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Bachata tango
Another variation of modern Bachata, which combines with tango and its sensuality. Kicks, falls, spectacular turns and studied pauses offer a romantic and harmonious dance.
