About Bachata
A little background.
Dance like you’re on a beach getaway with the flirty bachata. Originating from the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic the Bachata is often described as the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Side steps combine with the characteristic hip “bump” and a full body contact to create a dance that will keep you and your partner dancing long into the night.
