BACHATA TANGO

Why and where did this form of Bachata dancing come from?

It is not exactly sure who was the genius behind this but it is definately true to say that Italy and Spain are the pioneers of this style of Bachata dancing, but I must add it is not only a style of dancing, it is also a style of music too!

Here is a list of some good Bachata Tango tracks:

- Mi Estrella Mi Lucero by Pablo Alejando
- Suave by Yensi
- Passion by Julio Marano
- Strange (Libertango) Remix by Grace Jones
- Chanson D’ Amour by Castle feat. Denise (DJ Marco Ferretti Rmx)

So why did they decide to fuse these too completely different type of dancing and music together?

Well musicality it is very simple to add the Melody of Tango to the Rhythm of Bachata, the sound produced is very interesting to listen too and exciting to dance too, as you have a nice tempo to follow and a great melody to interpretate.

A common thing these two dances share is that they are both began in the street and they wasn’t always socially accepted and were reduced to being only danced in Brothels.

Fusing these two dances together is very natural due to the fact that both of them are danced very close and connected. The great thing about fusing them is that you get the best of their body movements (twisting and swaying) and its result is a way of dancing which is very sexy, passionate, stylish and graceful.

I guess one of the most important questions is should I now learn Tango to be good at it?

Well, the simple answer is Yes and No. You definitely need to take classes from someone who will teach you the techniques of Bachata Tango but you do not necessarily have to go to Tango Classes (But I would advised taking some classes from a good Tango instructor).

So now you know a little bit about it, it is time to learn it and let your passion flow on the dancefloor

Can anyone believe this?

I never believe I would see the day when Bachata actually filled the floor. Now I am really talking about the UK, for in countries like Italy and Spain, Bachata is extremely popular and DJs have to play it to stay alive! lol

So I have just traveled around the UK, Scotland and Ireland and realised an amazing phenomenon, when the DJ played Bachata the floor was packed! Now I am not saying alittle busy but extremely busy, jammed packed!

I couldn’t believe my eyes, people are taking to the dance floor as if there is no tomorrow, but I must say I think one of the biggest reasons for this is that DJs play very little of it and people are getting there quick fix dance in. Maybe it is a good thing that DJs play only a few maybe not, but without a doubt Bachata is definitely filling the floor quicker than you can say ‘Bachata Time’

This phenomenon actually leaves me feeling extremely at peace as I now see people are finally enjoying what I have been enjoying for a long time…

…Long live Bachata
