CURATOR'S NOTE
Welcome to the world of bachata. Here's your essential survival kit for a wise bachata life. Bachata is a genuinely beautiful dance — two people creating a picture together.
But when you're a beginner, it's better to focus on the fundamentals than on flashy moves~ You can always add the flash later, but you only drift further from the basics as time goes on. And since this is a dance you'll be doing for a long time, knowing its history will make your dance life that much more meaningful.
I've gathered the must-watch essentials for beginners — the history of bachata (the most important part when you're starting out), the basic, and the fundamental movements. Start here! And whenever you get lost somewhere down the road, come back here 🤗
