Amazing 3 days of Workshops and Parties!
19.11.2021-21.11.2021 Muxima
Bachata- is a style of social dance from the Dominican Republic which is now danced all over the world.It is connected with bachata music. The Sensual dance style was created in Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain, by Korke Escalona and Judith Cordero. Korke learned the basics of western "traditional" in 1998, but with no more information than the basic step (four steps to the side) and inspired by bachata music. He started developing his own dance style inspired by contemporary and Brazilian Zouk dances by understanding how the leader (traditionally a man) could lead the body of the follower (traditionally a lady) to interpret the music. The result is a novel, independent dance form with strict principles of leading and following, with mostly circular movements and body waves, but also body isolations and dips when the dancers feel the music calls for it.
