Often referred to in the West as “authentic / Dominican” bachata, this original social dance was created in the Dominican Republic during the 1960s and has been evolving for several decades.
It is increasingly danced to faster music, adding more footwork, simple turns and rhythmic free-styling movements. Bachata is danced with soft hip movements and a tap or syncopation (1, 2, 3, tap/syncopation).
This sensual and sexy dance is popular in the Caribbean and all over the world.
