Bachata is a joyful, energetic and fun partner dance with origins from the Dominican Republic.
Bachata is a dance originally from the Dominican Republic and one of the most popular dances from Latin America.
The dance was influenced by merengue and salsa and has been on rise since the late 2000s, when bachata sensual was created and quickly took place alongside bachata urbana and bachata dominicana. Bachata sensual evolved under the initiative of Korke & Judith from Spain and led to a huge increase in the popularity of bachata. The dance has become more lyrical and modern, also with the rise of remixes and more popular bachata songs by artists such as Romeo Santos, Aventura, Prince Royce, Dani J and others.
The characteristics of bachata sensual are body waves, body isolations, involvement of arm styling and many soft movements that use the principle of a very fine leading & following.
