Bachata Sensual was created in Spain by Korke & Judith. It respects the traditional basic steps of Bachata but adds more complex body movements, isolations, and circular figures.
While traditional Bachata focuses more on footwork and playful partner interaction, Bachata Sensual focuses more on the connection between the partners and interpreting the melody and emotion of the song.
Key Elements
- Body Waves: Smooth, flowing movements of the body.
- Isolations: Moving one part of the body (like the chest or hips) while keeping the rest still.
- Close Connection: A comfortable, respectful embrace that allows for subtle leading and following.
Is it too intimate?
The name "Sensual" can sometimes be misleading. It refers to "sensing" the music and the partner's movement, not necessarily sexual intimacy.
At AXcent Dance, we place a huge emphasis on respect and boundaries. We teach you how to lead and follow these movements safely and comfortably, ensuring that both partners feel good. It's about creating a beautiful dance together, not about being inappropriate.
Why learn with us?
