About the author

Preface

Bachata is not a standardized dance. There are many variations and movement sequences and some figures are also built in. A dance of pure eroticism. Get a taste and experience a new passion with a very simple basic step and many variations and figures, which you may already know from other dances.

This book does not replace dance lessons. It should only be a small reminder for the actions you have already learned or show you a few more variations.

In this volume the basic step with its variations is treated.

The story of Bachata

The bachata was actually not intended as a dance at all, but was a style of music that served as entertainment for couples in love. But in the early 1960's it developed from the Cuban or Caribbean Bolero to a dance that was now also influenced by Salsa and Merengue. Since 2000 this dance is booming.

In the 1970's and 1980's the music of the Bachata was considered vulgar and was assigned to the lower classes of the population. It was equated with prostitution, crime and poverty.

In 2005 the first Bachata World Championship was held. For the most part, Italian couples competed and incorporated the technique of Latin American dances. In the meantime the bachata has become a very popular ballroom dance and the IDO regularly organizes World and European Championships as well as World Cups in bachata.
