So you think you know what bachata dancing in the Dominican Republic looks like?
This multi-media presentation by director Adam Taub will challenge those assumptions,
open you to the possibilities, and energize your bachata dancing.
In reality, bachata dance styles are incredibly diverse within the DR and around the world!
Exploring dance through videos, slides, interviews, lecture, movement and interactive elements
this presentation goes deep into the roots, evolution and various styles of bachata dance.
We will also dig into elements that influence dance style such as musicality, timing, footwork, partnering,
body movement and more.
