Bachatango?

[Salcero]

Anyone heard of this hybrid before?

I realize that bachata can borrow things from Tango in general, but some searches on youtube seem to have a similarity in song choice and to include both a lot of bachata as well as tango (not just borrowing a few dips).

Just one example that came up (and one of the clearer/more well-lit ones at that):

Hmm ... is this somehow tied into salsa? Did you ask in the tango section?

The Beauty of fusing two Arts

I like to see different views of dancing. I for one love fusing different dances together. I have always loved Tango and to mix it with my Bachata only seems right. It allows me to move more easily around the dance floor and not be stuck with the side to side basic. I do travel around the world teaching people how to fuse different dances styles into Bachata. I want to educate and show this it possible to express yourself in different way and to open the possibilities for creativity. Dancing about expressing yourself and not about following rules. I love to listen and let music move me. To learn more about my style check out www.bachatatango.com

Haven't seen one here on the DF. There are so many great bachatas out there...often used as rumbas at BR comps. Actually, I was listening to a good CD earlier today..."Volvere: El Cheval de la Bachata".

I find fusing Bachata and American Rumba to be enjoyable and works great with Bachata music. If Argentine Tango music is played, I will be happy to just dance Tango without the Bachata.

Rueda de Bachata

Another adaption for Bachata is Rueda de Bachata "invented" by the Hips on Fire group, Casino Rueda seems more natural with salsa.

There's a sample snip from one of their DVDs at www.ruedadebachata.com

from the OC ocsalsa.ning.com

Thats alright and I would support you. But, the example at the beginning of this thread got more to do with Milonga (afro-argentine polka, mostly in 2/2) than with TA. We must take into account the essence of the music and dances, not only their shape and the steps.
