IN THEIR WORDS

The foundation of bachata is the step turn. If the guy doesn't keep pushing, she can't walk and she can't turn.

CHOA's note: explaining how the step turn works, stressing that once you're open the follow can't move without a lead

Watch that moment →

Moving forward here isn't a turn. A turn needs energy that clearly carries you over.

CHOA's note: separating a turn from mere movement, calling out how many students mistake the prep for the turn and spin early

Watch that moment →

If the guy doesn't push into the frame, she just stops right there and can't turn. That's why she isn't turning.

CHOA's note: pinpointing why the turn doesn't happen in the bracket frame without the leader's push

Watch that moment →

The lady's frame never — ever — collapses inward from that bracket shape.

CHOA's note: describing the shape of an open frame and stressing that it must not break

Watch that moment →

There has to be an obstacle there for the lady to lean into and play with — if it's not there, she just keeps going back and crashes into it.

On the physical obstacle (the frame) the lead has to build with his body or hand for the follow.

Watch that moment →

Your right hand has to arrive at exactly the right spot — that's how much she gets to turn.

CHOA's note: pointing out that when the follow can't turn as far as she wants, it's the leader's hand not going far enough

Watch that moment →

Before she drifts away, you actually pull in a little and then give her a small open.

CHOA's note: explaining how to control the lead so the follow doesn't suddenly get pulled away when you open

Watch that moment →

You're not lifting — you have to angle it downward, and that's what lets the lady create her tilt.

CHOA's note: explaining that angling down rather than lifting the arm is what makes the follow's shape come out naturally
