What is Bachata Sensual?

Bachata is a beautiful and close dance, that originated in the Dominican Republic in the 1960s as a fusion of Merengue, Bolero, and Son Cubano. Following Salsa, Bachata is the second most prominent Latin American music and dance genre in the world, and it has grown extremely popular in the United Kingdom. At Latin Shine Dance Company, we offer our students fundamentals of traditional Bachata dancing with the focus on Sensual variant.

Sensual Bachata was created by Korke Escalona, that introduced to the dance a more complex follower and leader patterns, body isolations, and a stronger representation of individual musicality through body movement and partner connection. In his words, Korke interpreted the instruments with longer movements and isolations, in other words, a higher corporal expression. Without dismissing the origins and keeping the essence of the traditional bachata.
