| Visitor Comments: I compliment you on trying to spread bachata to the world. However, I am sorry, but Bachata is from the Dominican Republic and this is not how Dominicans dance bachata.
The essence of dancing Bachata is NOT the upper body movement. And kicking up your leg in the air is terrible. The upper body should be relatively stationary, maybe a little arm movement. As a matter of fact, if you are moving your body from the waist up more than just a little bit at a time, you are not dancing bachata as it originated in its home of quisqueya la bella. bachata is all in the hips and the legs...that is the art of proper bachata.
please see this link to see how dominicans dance the true bachata: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbtdLRSh5mU&feature=related
