Bachata
Bachata is a beautiful romantic partner dance from the Dominican Republic. It is very passionate, fun and easy to learn, and its music can be often heard at salsa events. Although Bachata developed from a variety of different rhythms, including Merengue, the music which is specifically called Bachata is a relative of Bolero – in Latin culture traditionally romantic music, dealing with themes like deception and lost love. You will be hooked as soon as you start learning this smooth and sensual dance!If you have been dancing other styles, and have a strong foundation of timing and leading/following skills, this course will have you dancing Bachata very quickly indeed.

I would like to enrol now!
Bachata is sometimes referred to as the "blues music of the Dominican Republic", borrowing from the Cuban bolero.
Music
Bachata music developed from popular guitar music of the Dominican Republic, over about forty years in the bars and brothels of Santo Domingo. Now it is tremendously successful among Latinos in the United States. Original Bachata music faded away over the years in the shadow of its newly developed descendant, which Latin dancers enjoy today!
