Bachata was born in the 1960′s and 1970′s in the Dominican Republic. It is danced to the slower, ballad-like Latin songs. Like Salsa, Bachata has an 8-count basic, but instead of moving back and forth like Salsa, Bachata moves from side to side. Additionally, partners tend to dance much closer to one another in Bachata. The basic is a side-together-side action and a hip roll and/or lift.. It will be fun to learn the basics because Bachata is building as the most popular social dance all over the world right now, so be part of the latest and hottest club trend!
Pre-requisites: A fun, positive & polite attitude.
Fridays 8:50 p.m. in the Blue Studio

Put your sexy on! This sassy class will transform students into impressive Salsa and Rueda de Casino dancers. The class is made up of intermediate patterns introduced and repeated the following class as a review. Students start with a warm-up that teaches spins, footwork, and hip movement. More intricate steps, different hand positions, and specific turn patterns are the focus in partner-work, where students rotate to dance with each other. Emphasis is placed solidifying leader and follower roles, on hip-movement and smooth body movements and transitions, which characterize these dances. This dance class is essential for becoming a well-rounded Latin dancer, and to get you ready to step onto any Latin Dance floor with ease, knowing you’re ready to get close and sexy when the music comes on!
