The music we call Bachata today originally emerged from a Pan-Latino tradition of guitar music, musica di guitarra. Born out of the Dominican Republic, Bachata evolved to develop new dance steps and came to be known as a dance in its own right as well.
The Bachata dance is characterized by intimacy and closeness, in keeping with the atmosphere of sensuality created by the romantic guitar music. Couples dance in close proximity to one another or as close as they are comfortable with. The Bachata dance is such a sensuous dance that even onlookers are seduced by its passion and beauty.
Many are of the opinion that Bachata dancing is the easiest of all dances to master. However, this is a misconception as proper body isolation and techniques are needed to dance Bachata in its true beauty. |
