DurationBachata music follows the basic 4×4 pattern of Bolero, with four characteristic instruments, lead guitar, bass, bongos & guira (but many more can be added), and three sections to most songs derecho, majao & mambo. In the DR ladies start the timing of any song based on their feeling of the music and the gentlemen lead.
In classes, we will usually start on the first beat to keep everyone the same and to check on technique but on the social dance floor you are free to interpret the music and there is no dacing on 1, or 2, you can dance on 1, on 2, on 3 or on 4 if you like!.
Footwork is characterized by the instrument you are dancing to at any particular moment and not by fixed patterns you have been taught. For example, you can dance to the bongos in one section and to the lead guitar on another & so on.

As a Colombian, dancing is a very important part of my life. Since my early years I have enjoyed dancing with my family and friends. Latin dancing is a key element in our culture where it enables us to express our feelings and emotions through music.
In South America and other Hispanic communities dancing has been present in our history dating back to our ancestors.
The Native Indians as well as the slaves that were brought out from Africa to Latin America, leave us with this legacy full of colour, rhythm and passion. I have been teaching Street Latin Dancing in the Gold Coast since establishing the school back in 2001.
During this period of time I’ve participated in multiple displays and demonstrations for private and corporate functions such as The Gold Coast Indy Carnival Parades, ANA Hotel Christmas Party, Latin On the Beach, Mount Tamborine State Primary School, Palazzo Versace Christmas party, and the Gold Coast Multicultural Association along with Life Education Queensland, Circle On Cavill, Skypoint Q1 Qdeck Salsa, Sonora Carruseles Concert, Gold Coast City Council and the Woodford Folk Festival.
And for several years I have been a judge in the Australian Salsa Solo competition. Our Latin Dance Classes run several days a week throughout different Gold Coast.
My fellow instructors and I teach Colombian style Salsa, Cuban style Salsa, Argentine Tango, Cumbia, Cha Cha Cha, Bachata, Merengue, Rueda De Casino. We aim to pass on our knowledge of dancing, introduce the basics steps and rhythm and teach you with authentic Latin style and spirit.
We want you to have fun, be able to express yourself by dancing freely and naturally in the same way people dance in Latin America, by feeling the music and transforming it with your own expression.
Bachata Dance Lessons are offered by Salsa Connection Dance Studio. We believe that no matter the shape or form of dance, dancing itself should not just be about steps to music - it should be lived, loved, breathed and enjoyed.
Bachata Course is Offered by Arthur Murray Dance Studios. Originating from the Dominican Republic, Bachata is a social dance that has evolved since the 1960s.

A latin dance with simple footwork and strong hip movement. The music is romantic in nature and the movement reflects the story of love and heartbreak. Bachata steps involve many optional turns for the lady.
