Bachata is supposed to be a Dominican dance. Based on how I've seen it done in the Dominican Republic, they do not do that exaggerated hip pop on the...
The problem is that none of the dances the OP said they knew is a perfect fit. Cha Cha would fit on tempo, so you could do it. Saying that Cha...
I'm new to dancing and struggle with the same thing. DJ's that announce the appropriate dance are a blessing. You really need to know the beats per...
Actually some teach the count as 1-2-3-Lift-5-6-7-Lift. While I'm not sure it is quite lift and pee, I don't think it is very sexy or attractive....
We self taught Bachata. The basic steps are pretty straightforward, and only require practice to get the style down. The key is in the hip movement...
We did our DR vacation and probably am no better informed at to what the real DR Bachata is like. If we had gone to an off resort real bar, we would...
Andresito, thanks for the link. I did look at quite a few of the videos in the series. Very good stuff, but I think well beyond the basic beginner...
Kind of an old thread that has been resurrected. I'm quite familiar with that Joe Baker video of the Triple Two Step. We took a class, and I used...
Thanks for the response. I've been doing some more looking. Found another video which you can find with: Bachata Dancers Show Off in the Dominican...

We are currently doing Texas Two Step.
I think you have to consider that they are all variations of the same dance. The differences are going to be somewhat subtle especially to a non...
Google "West Coast Swing Canada - The Dance" Your first hit should bring up a page that has a table comparing the various dances. If you click on...
Opendoor, thanks for the tip. We were practicing the cuddle to cuddle turn last night. Not sure if this is what you mean, but we were going "in the...
For man or woman? Our female instructor claims suede soled western boots are the ticket for ladies doing spins. I believe she has hers custom made....
There is probably a better dance term for it, but it is the signal for what is coming other than the basic QQSS. I guess in general it is the...
I think you may be getting close. On a search I did find some reference to using it in a couple of instances. It may be borrowed from the Patty...
Thanks for all the tips. They are helpful. I kind of think the issue will work itself out as we progress (hopefully). It happens more in practice...
I'm interested in learning the push move/turn you can see in this video from 1:15 to 1:25 for time. Could you tell me what it is called? I can't post...
