  • Thats not the way i was shown it, but hey.. am in the UK so ya know translation and all that probably got lost overseas or someshít =\

    i was out in Dominican Republic, they got some good dancers there

  • there is alot of diferent ways to dance bachata , this is simply one of them. but once you get the hang of it you would add your own style and even change the steps around. If you really want to see how its danced with style you guys would find this being danced at a hispanic party, but mainly a dominican party.

see all

  • wow wen i went to p.r this summer 2010 i danced bachata odhee diffrent addin my own steps bhut always end wit the step with the person

  • @plugged1 really>? i didnt notice, i love that doc! it was great!

  • This is dumb, that leg lift kills it. I hope no one goes out on the dance floor and tries this crap!

  • ewww no only newbies n hicks dance bachata lik that, i hate when they start teaching ppl stuff that isnt necessary, u dont need to lift ur leg on 4

  • This is my brother :) aww im so proud of him.

    and the thing is, there's different ways of dancing bachata... the way they're teaching it, is the way actual hispanics dance it... the way you're "supposed to" in a sense... not the "ballroom" form of the dance.

  • I have danced Bachata with the World champion and the European champion, and that is NOT how they do it or teach it. On the 4 and the 8 you need to push down against the floor and straighten the leg, not lift it like a dog....

  • in DR when Dancing bachata they don't teach u like that lol ... here it looks like they're teaching people how to jump =(

  • yup the makers of bachata, DR, how was it?
