Thanks for the update. I really appreciate the efforts you have made for this blog.
Hi I came across your video on you tube one day. There are other beginner bachata videos out there but what I love about yours the way you taught it and keep it simple and explain the extra little hip action …Thank YOU !
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
I love how you explained that a Bachata dance is a sensual dance with unique movements. My sister wants to get back in shape and she said that she’s thinking of taking dancing lessons. I’m going to suggest looking for Bachata classes so I’ll mention this to her this weekend.
The most beautiful dance ever! And the best way to enjoy with your partner! Grat post Leon!
This post is incredibly helpful! The step-by-step videos make it easy to follow along, and I love how you break down each move for beginners. Can’t wait to practice these steps!
