Do you listen to bachata? What kind of bachata dance style is your favorite? Are you taking bachata dance classes? Or, if you haven’t heard much about bachata dance at all, I am going to suggest some irresistible songs which are ideal for you to get to know bachata a little more.
But first I would like to say a quick “thank you” to my older brothers for introducing me to ALL kinds of music when I was a kid growing up in Honduras. Ever since I became a dance instructor and started teaching as a hobby, I have found myself being fond of this passionate, romantic, and exciting dance.
This is the kind of dance that teaches you to become more in touch with your inner self, and it is also a great way to connect with your dance partner on a more personal level than you can with Salsa or any other Latin dance.
The dynamics are very different between Salsa and Bachata. Salsa is on point and relies heavenly on technique, frame, precise timing, and execution. Bachata, on the other hand, shares some of the same demands as Salsa but it is more forgiving, allows for more flexibility, creates a more intimate connection with your dance partner, and develops full body motion.
