What we will cover: 1. Introduction to Musicality and Rhythms of Bachata 2. Bachata Body Isolations 3. Bachata Footwork & Partner Connection 4. Sensual Bachata Foundations 5. Intermediate Partnerwork Why attend our bootcamps: 1. There may have been a time or two when you attended a workshop and thought you learned a lot but when it came to using these moves during a social dance. However, you just could not pull it off. You may have been able to do parts of the move, but you felt a disconnection between you and your partner along the way. 2. There may be times when you went to a workshop and felt like you have learned very little. You probably thought watching online videos would have saved you both time and money. 3. You may have moved on to a different genre of dance altogether after a few bad experiences that may have added to your frustration. You probably blamed a number of things including the DJ or the dance floor. If you have experienced any of the above three at any point in your dance adventure, you are not alone! During our bootcamps you will not only learn the Bachata moves, you will build a solid foundation when it comes to 1) techniques, 2) partner connection and 3) musicality. We continue to direct dance teams nationally by teaching the foundations from the very start. Solid foundations in any dance lead to 1) good posture, 2) understanding the need for musicality, 3) learning the musicality, which becomes the “FUN” interaction between you and your partner throughout the dance 4) and, therefore, enabling you to connect with your partner with grace and elegance.
