What is bachata?

[vey]

Yes, I love the bachata too. I also like to add the little dip.

I was about to write how wonderful "little dips" are in bachata, when I've noticed that DanceMentor already mentioned it

Welcome to df elisamaria!! Yes, indeed. There are people here who like all sorts of music and dances. If there is something you are into then there probably is someone who at least knows something about it. You like bachata!! What else?

I was looking for Salsa ideas on the web again and noticed this

Now turn down the music, yes turn down the music because its some techo pop and select the basic button.

Now does that look like the steps for a bachata or not :?: Of course, you wouldn't be doing all that upper body stuff because you would usually be in a close body hold with a partner but the foot work looks like Bachata to me...

i am obsessed with bachata i think the most romantic song to dance bachata is Ensename A Olvidar its sooooooo beautiful

 

[etchuck]

I guess I can welcome you to the Dance Forums...

Do you happen to know who performs that song?

 

[youngsta]

Aventura. Chiquita that is a really beautiful song, great taste!

 

[chiquita~bonita]

yeah its aventura its on the cd we broke the rules

 

[chiquita~bonita]

thanx thats the first song me and my husband danced to at our wedding i get chills when i hear it

 

[Sagitta]

Yup. Actually I've recommended that CD to quite a few people who ask me what are good CDs to buy.

 

[MacMoto]

yeah its aventura its on the cd we broke the rules

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This information has helped me track down the most played bachata song around here and possibly the only one I actually like: Obsesion by Aventura, also on We Broke the Rules. I'm not a big bachata fan, and most of the time I can't stand it (sorry ), but I really like this one -- such a beautiful song.

 

[dessaix]

I dislike Aventura hehe their style is too sensual and if you actually understand the lyrics, some songs are poorly written. actually alot of them dont make much sense.

I love to listen to Bachata more than anything (i wish I could dance it as well as salsa) but I pay alot of attention to the lyrics..

sorry for being a hater :roll:
