Description
Three Bachata styles:
- Modern: This is the most basic form of Bachata – a modern adaptation of the original dance. It adopts many of the turn patterns common in Salsa and is built around a “side-together-side” basic step rather than the traditional square pattern.
- Sensual: This is the youngest of the three sub-styles but also one of the most popular rhythms worldwide. Sensual Bachata uses Core’s basic step pattern but less complex turn patterns. Fluid, whole-body stylistic movements such as body waves and shoulder, rib cage, and hip isolations characterize it. Our instructors have a strong foundation in this Style.
- Traditional: Of the three sub-styles, this is the closest to its authentic, original form. Unlike other adaptations, Traditional is built around a square “box-step”. It is usually danced in close partnership; the steps themselves are kept simple. This style features a smooth sway of the hips accentuated equally on every count.
