Review
------
I have about 5 years of salsa dance experience, but I've never
formally taken any bachata classes. I've just never heard of
anyone teaching it in my area of the globe. These DVDs have been
great for me to expand my bachata steps. (I've only really known
the side to side basic and turning side to side.) I really
recommend these DVDs. The price might seem like a lot but
considering the fact that a single 45 minute private dance lesson
goes for $85 at a dance school, these DVDs are sooo worth it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The production quality is excellent.
Instructions are clear for both leaders and followers. The
instructors demonstrate the moves from different angles so you
can see what going on with the arms and legs from the other
viewpoint. Not only do they teach dance moves, but also introduce
some bachata history and tips on proper etiquette at dance clubs.
(For example, don't refuse a dance with someone, and then accept
to dance with a different person during the same song!) --Andy

"An Amazing and Sexy Dance". I had never heard of Bachata before
receiving this DVD for review (am I the only one?), so I searched
for videos on YouTube. I was absolutely blown away by some of the
dancers I saw, so I couldn't wait to get some instruction. The
instructors in this video are Jesus and Alison (from the Dance
Crazy Swing and Waltz videos.) Both are friendly and amazing
dancers who instruct in an easy-to-understand way. This is the
3-DVD Mastery System, so you'll start off on Disc 1, which is the
Beginner's lesson. The Bachata is a little complicated, so they
start with the Basic Step, break it down slowly, and dance it
separate before moving on to dancing with a partner. There are
also 3 variations of the Basic: The Tap, the Hip Lift, and The
Triplet, which range from easy to more difficult, and you can use
whichever Basic variation you're most comfortable with in any of
the patterns they show you. From there, you learn the Basic Step
forward, backward, and in place. Each section is broken down in
detail, and you get lots of practice in on how to move around the
dance floor. Then you get instruction on Partnering & Etiquette,
moving with a partner, and using the closed position before
moving on to learn the Basic step while rotating. From there,
you'll learn 5 patterns including the Right & Left Turn, Men's
Turns, Follower's Turn, The Face Loop, and The Continuous Right
Turn. Then you get some practice with all of the patterns
together, which finishes your Beginner's instruction. Disc 2 is
the Intermediate Lesson and picks up right where the Beginner's
lesson left off. You'll learn more footwork, stylistic tips, and
more patterns to wow with. The first lesson is about connecting
with your partner, which is so important in making Bachata look
so graceful and fluid. If you've seen it danced with Intermediate
or Advanced dancers, you know what I'm talking about. I was so
amazed when first seeing a video of the dance because these
dancers seemed to be able to read each other's minds, and were
moving so fast and fluidly that the change-ups that were
happening seemed almost impossible. I have to add that the video
I watched wasn't of a choreographed ballroom dance, but of a
couple in a club caught on a cameraphone. It was amazing! So this
chapter deals with your connection, feeling the changes in your
partner's body leading you into the moves, and even includes an
exercise for this. They then go into teaching patterns 6 through
13. Those are: 6. Unwinding from a turn and The Gancho, 7. Catch
& Release, 8. Free Spin, 9. The Cuddle, 10. Swivels, A Cuddle,
and A Drop, 11. The Leg Wrap, 12. Club Styling and The Double
Turn, and 13. The Bachata Cross-Body Lead. The patterns get
progressively harder, and more , which is what the dance
is known for. There is as always lots of practice, and the great
thing about this being on DVD is that you can repeat any lesson
until you have it. Disc 3 is the Advanced lesson and picks up
from the Intermediate lesson. They emphasize the partner
connection, then go right into patterns 14 through 12. Those are:
14. Ladies Double Turn with Reverse Hammerlock, 15. The Leader's
Hammerlock, 16. Leader's Turns, Follower's Swivels, 17. Spanish
Arm Position, 18. Consecutive Turns with Spotting, 19. The
Enclosed Embrace, and 20. Leg Hooks. They follow with a chapter
of Do's and Don'ts, which cover respecting your partner, their
limitations, and your fellow dancers. Overall a great wrap-up of
advanced moves. I loved these DVDs, and when I'm ready to learn
another dance, I'll definitely get them from Dance Crazy! --Holly
