Bachata is a sensual and emotional dance and music style that originally comes from the Dominican Republic. Today, bachata is an extremely popular dance with several different styles, including traditional Dominican bachata, sensual bachata, bachata moderna, and bachata fusion, which combines different styles. In bachata classes, you will learn bachata step variations and footwork technique, body movement, styling, and musicality.
Couple bachata is a social dance, which means that it is danced freely with different partners without any pre-arranged choreography. In class, you will learn the skills of leading and following, i.e., how dancers communicate through movement: the leader guides the dance with small body movements and hand signals, and the follower responds to them naturally. This allows for improvisation, living in the moment, and dancing with anyone – even if you’ve never practiced together before. In our Bachata classes, you won’t just learn the steps—you’ll also learn the proper technique for the moves and get tips on social dancing.
The Bachata Moderna style taught in this course is characterized by spins, dynamic step patterns, and step variations. The style has been influenced by salsa, among other dances. The dance style is more open than sensual bachata and involves fewer body waves/rolls.
In 2018, Giuseppe started dancing salsa and bachata in Italy, about six months before moving to Finland. Since then, dance has been a big part of Giuseppe’s life. Over the years, he has focused especially on bachata and has had the opportunity to train with international artists, such as Ataca and La Alemana. Giuseppe has also completed their dance teacher training, which dives deeper into their signature style, Bachata Moderna – a smooth, expressive and dynamic style of bachata.
“Whether it’s your first time dancing or you’ve already taken a few steps before, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, connect with your dance partner, and above all, enjoy the music and have fun on the dance floor,” says Giuseppe.
