I had my first competitive dance experience recently. I'm so glad I did it.I don't regret it was a very fun experience. The guy that I competed with is a beginner, I would say that I am intermediate/Advanced. In this competition , there were two rounds and in the first round we got voted out...

Is anyone living in Buenos Aires, or planning to visit? Today I wanted to share a –hopefully useful– list of dancing venues where I live, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Granted, when visiting Buenos Aires most people would be drawn to milongas to watch or dance tango. But I’m sure this community...

Odilio González 'El Jíbarito de Lares': The creator of what we know today as the music genre "Bachata". Although González is a top troubadour, from his unique style in interpreting Boleros, the Bachata genre was born. Odilio González Arce stands as one of Puerto Rico's most prolific artists...

I've only been able to find a little bit of salsa and bachata by Japanese artists/in Japanese, and I'm wondering if there's more out there. I'm making a playlist, and also starting a blog about dance in Japan, and would like to include more Japanese music! Thank youuu

We can add some ballroom to it such as the waltz step, and the 4x4 count is great for impromptu inserts like hip-hop or popping especially while performing solo BS shines. Just tired of the same body roll phases. I think part of what makes salsa great is that you can continue to add different...

Hello everybody, I have a problem when dancing bachata sensual My dance partner is about 12 cm smaller than me. He is also my roommate so at the moment he is the only person I'm dancing with (Corona...) I have never had an issue dancing close with someone but with him I can feel his "private...

I've posed this question to many dance instructors and teachers. Not satisfied with any of their answers. I asked people with background ranging in hip hop to salsa and they seem to not know or not care. Any thoughts and answers about the difference between a wave and a roll are welcome.

I’ve made it a general rule to never get too comfortable with a woman while dancing to Sensual Bachata unless it’s my GF. However, since my skills have gradually improved I’ve made it an effort to dance with better follows. Unintentionally, I’ve started to have memorable dances for the wrong...

I started with Salsa and Bachata lessons 10 months ago (regular group lessons and semi-regular private lessons). As learning to dance is a slow process, I told myself that I’d stick to it for at least one year :). Now, the end of my first year is approaching and I’m evaluating if it makes sense...

Hi everyone :) Last weekend I went dancing to a venue in a different city. That evening it happened twice to me that when I was dancing bachata with a girl that as soon as I switched from open position to the closed position that they were hugging me really tightly and also squeezing my legs...

Lets make one thing clear, I dont have a problem with feminist taking up dance! However I am encountering problems with feminist and left wing women. This is to the feminists who read this; would you be less likely to dance with guys who have differing opinions and political beliefs? Me and...

Someone posted this article on why she does not enjoy dancing bachata anymore and, while her comments are about the bachata scene, a lot of her critiques can also be applied to the salsa scene. Curious to hear people's thoughts--on either the salsa or bachata scene, or the Latin scene in...

I am new to this forum site. I am joined this forum because i am a best and professional salsa dancer in Zurich, Switzerland and sharing here my thoughts, opinions and views on dancing relevance nothing else. Thanks,

In a recent thread, the subject of traditional vs commercial bachata came up, and it got me wondering ... what are your favourite bachata tracks? I find good bachata hard to come by, but my knowledge of the genre is very low compared to salsa so I don't really know where to look. Some of the...
