Bachata

What started as a rural dance in the Dominican Republic has now managed to gain worldwide popularity. Bachata is a rhythmic and sensual dance that is performed with a partner. The most noteworthy characteristic of this dance form is the hip movements. To date, Bachata continues to grow and evolve. Some of the different styles include Dominican or the Original bachata characterised by fast-paced footwork and turns, Bachata Moderna which is a mix of various techniques and requires a lot of energy, and the Traditional style which is the most widely spread across the globe.
