Bachata dance is interesting but can it be used as additional type of sport activity? It is about for ex. which muscles it uses or how much you should be flexible to dance it without any problems. Can someone tell his own experience with this dance and give a contact to a private coach maybe? (Yup, it’s not that popular here but maybe someone have a knowledge about it) There are two coaches on this site https://zoptamo.com/s-bachata-c-us-coach (really hard to find anyone) but without any opinions on them. Maybe someone here can provide help with this question?

    Just had to offer my input here :tongue:
    Bachata has nothing to do with the Mexican activities mentioned above but rather is Dominican and practiced more on the islands and some in South America not so much in Mexico.

    <3 Thank you. I hate when people immediately associate anything hispanic/latino with Mexicans.

    I can't add to the above
    but if you are looking for an instructor you will have to try out a few and find which one is a good fit for you. Someone that works well with someone else might not work well for you.

    Or merengue ! (I know the original post suggested bachata and i loveee bachata)
    I only mention merengue because I find myself playing and dancing on average to music that tends to be alot faster when dancing merengue but hey for enjoyment I'd say do 'em all !
