What dances do we learn?
Salsa and Bachata are two lively Latin American social dances that have become popular worldwide. Salsa, from Cuba, involves quick footwork, turns, and energetic hip movements, creating a passionate and high-energy dance. On the other hand, Bachata, originating from the Dominican Republic, is a slower, more romantic dance with smooth body movements and an intimate connection between partners. Both, Salsa and Bachata are partner dances which are built on improvisation and interpreting the music.
