Caribbean Street Bachata
Bachata dance lessons for those who want to learn to dance like locals
Transform to a street dancer with Caribbean Street Bachata, easily, every time.
Elevate your bachata with our online lessons; from beginner to advanced, we make you move like a true street style dancer.
Here are our three pillars of dance:
1. Be smooth (focus on partner work, a.k.a. lead and follow).
2. Be present (focus fully on your partner and the dance itself).
3. Be inspired (focus on how the music makes you feel and that emotional connection makes your movements more genuine).
Who is this series NOT for?
- It's NOT for people that what to learn some variation of GRIND-CHATA style with make-your-partner-uncomfortable dance moves.
- It's NOT for people that want to dance like robots (strictly by counting numbers) and WITHOUT listening to the music.
- It's NOT for people that want to dance bachata without SABOR (without flavor, just like eating bland food)*
- If you don't want to learn how to bachata with a partner to bachata music that you can feel and hear, then don't buy this series.
*This line means that dancing bachata requires passion, energy, and a sense of rhythm, referred to as "sabor," or "flavor." The statement implies that this bachata dance course isn't meant for people who approach dancing without enthusiasm or passion. Instead, it's for those who want to dance with joy and fully express themselves through the music. Essentially, it's saying that this is not for people who dance in a dull or unexciting way, akin to eating tasteless food.
Who is this series made for?
- Anyone that wants to learn to dance bachata in its more natural form
- Anyone that wants to be able to dance with anyone anywhere
- Anyone that wants to blend/fit right in with the social dancers in the Caribbean (the origins of bachata)
