Bachata
Bachata is a couple dance originating from the Dominican Republic. Bachata music is calmer than Salsa and the dance is more intimate. The first bachata song to hit big was Bachata Rosa with Juan Luis Guerra in the early 90s. Despite that, the music did not have its big impact until the beginning of the 2000s with the group Aventura. Aventura managed to modernize Bachata through R&B influences and was therefore able to reach a wider audience. Aventura’s breakthrough not only made the music style grow but also the dance developed, this new kind of Bachata music inspired dancers worldwide to express themselves in new ways. The big breakthrough for bachata dance came in 2008 through Ataca and Alemana’s Bachata performance, which has now been viewed close to 100 million times on Youtube.
Bachata has three main styles that you can see and try when you take a bachata course or go out and dance Bachata in Stockholm. Unlike salsa, these styles are usually freely mixed by the dancers.
Dominican Bachata
Dominican Bachata is characterized by very fast footwork and very rarely contains spins or turns. This style is sometimes called “authentic bachata”. The style fits very well with traditional Bachata music that has a strong emphasis on the guitar, the dancers reflect the fast notes of the guitar through their footwork.
Bachata Fusion
Bachata has developed through the use of turns and patterns from dances such as Salsa and Tango, thus creating fusions. Sometimes a separate name is used for the bachata tango fusion called Bachatango
Sensual Bachata
The sensual Bachata is a style that has become very popular in recent years. The style has influences from Lamba zouk and contains a lot of wave movements and body isolations. The style is usually more intimate than the other Bachata styles.

Bachata courses and Levels
At iDance we have courses in Bachata, Sensual Bachata and Bachata Ladies Styling in different levels.
This is the perfect course for those who want to learn to dance Bachata from scratch or want to improve their basics in Bachata. In the course we go through the basic movements and turns of Bachata. The aim of the course is for you to learn enough to be able to start dancing socially
In level 2 we continue to learn more moves, movement patterns and step combinations. This level suits you who know the basics of Bachata, you can keep the beat and have a good frame. Each course at this level has different content, so it is fine to take several level 2 courses in parallel or repeat the course without it becoming boring..
In the third level, we learn to become more complete Bachata dancers, we practice everything from step combinations to spin technique and body isolations. This level is suitable for those who have passed level 2 several times and feel that the level is no longer challenging.
At this level we work with advanced combinations and movement patterns. We recommend that you have danced regularly for a few years where you both attended classes and danced socially. The course is suitable for those who dance several times a week and want to challenge themselves.
Sensual bachata
Sensual Bachatan is growing in popularity every day and when going out social dancing, most social dancers use elements from Sensual Bachatan. As the style is very technical, it can be difficult to understand how to lead and follow the movements in a good way.
The Sensual Bachata course suits you who know the basics of Bachata and want to learn more about body isolations, body rolls, waves and how to lead and follow these types of movements.
This course goes through carefully how to perform the movements correctly and gives you a good foundation to build on from. We vary the content each round of the course so you can continue at the level until you feel you want something more difficult.
In this level we start to combine different moments from Sensual Bachata and we refine the technique more. The course is for you who are an experienced dancer and want to continue developing. We work a lot on leading/following and on improving our body movements.
Bachata Ladies Styling
In the Ladies styling courses, we focus on your individual development. The course benefits you regardless of whether you focus on developing your own dance or want to use what you learn in partner dance. In the course we go through technique, development of personal expression and work with choreography.
