OTHER LATIN DANCES
Bachata
Bachata is today danced in the Caribbean and all over the world.
It is danced with rhythmic free style moves and with alternate between close (romantic) and open position (more playful adding footwork, simple turns, rhythmic torso etc.).
This dance is danced with soft hip movements and a tap or syncopation, with or without bounce.
Rumba
Widely considered the most romantic and sensual of the Latin dances, the Rumba has a magnetic interplay between its partners.
The Rumba traveled from Cuba to the United States in the early 1920’s.
Essential to Rumba is the Cuban motion.
Strong and direct walks lead by the ball of the foot are also characteristic of the Rumba.
