This workshop will only be hosted once in Edmonton this year, so don’t miss out ;) We’ll be visiting all major styles of Bachata from its traditional roots to how the style has progressed to more modern styles. While we encourage everyone to develop their own unique musical expression, we’ll be also visiting more traditional ways to maintain a spirit of heritage. 🇩🇴T͟r͟a͟d͟i͟t͟i͟o͟n͟a͟l͟ ͟B͟a͟c͟h͟a͟t͟a͟ Influenced by Iberian, African, and Native American cultures. Bachata is a traditional genre of music & dance originating from the Dominican Republic, developed during a time of government and media censorship. Bachata once disparaged for its association with the “unsophisticated”, is now a Nostalgic keepsake for many Latin cultures. 🇩🇴M͟o͟d͟e͟r͟n͟ ͟B͟a͟c͟h͟a͟t͟a͟ As Dominican people migrated outside the Dominican Republic, the opportunity for Bachata’s commercialization would take the genre to new heights. Combining rhythmic elements of Bachata music with elements of Western music, Fusion genres would arise. Modern Bachata Dancing is influenced by elements in Salsa, ballroom, and tango. 🇪🇸S͟e͟n͟s͟u͟a͟l͟ ͟B͟a͟c͟h͟a͟t͟a͟ A fusion style developed in Spain with an increasing cult following outside the Dominican Republic, this style focuses on body waves and isolations similar to Brazilian Zouk. Sensual Bachata dancing is often done with both Modern Bachata music and non-Bachata music that a DJ or producer remixed to include elements and instruments specific to Bachata music, such as the bongo drum. --------------------------------------------------------- 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 🗓 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 (𝐿𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑) 12:30 - 1 pm • Men and Women’s styling 1 - 2 pm • Dancing with Rhythm and texture 2 - 3 pm • Dancing with Dynamics and Form - 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 - 3:30 - 4 pm • Men and Women’s styling 4 - 5 pm • Dancing with Melody and Timbre 5 - 5:30 pm • Practice and Questions 💵 Investment is $120 (No refunds 48 hours prior to workshop) This includes the social later on that night too! 10% of this workshop’s Revenue will go towards Dominican children having free music instruction for their traditional music. --------------------------------------------------------- ❗Prerequisites to ensure a fun learning experience for everyone❗ 💬 We won’t have room for walk-ins, DM us to register! 💃 Please help us keep ratios even and register with a partner! 🕺 This is not a beginner class.
