Have you ever heard of the saying “Dance like there is nobody watching, love like you will never be hurt, sing like there is nobody listening”? Certainly, we all have. Dancing is indeed much more than just grooving to your favourite songs on the dance floor. Music adds so much intensity that our feet start tapping on their own. Such is the splendour of Bachata.
Have you ever heard of Bachata? It originated in the 1960s in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is normally considered as an exception in terms of its dance culture. The word Bachata was famous in the country as a reunion, where people played and listened to trendy music. But where were these dance events held? The answer is wherever you are, public parks, street corners, courtyards, etc.
Bachata is a beautiful, romantic and rhythmic Caribbean dance style. Irrespective of the style, the initial impression of the dance is absolutely unique to any other style of dance.
Mating Call
Bachata - a close cousin of Salsa, exhibits a slower rhythm and accentuated hip movements. It’s a three-step dance form with tap and hip movements on the fourth beat.
It is generally conceived that the smoother and more often the hips move, the more feelings the individual has for the other. Hence, Bachata was used as a “mating call”, two dances with the same partner “sealed the deal”.
