Technics:
- There are a lot of bachata variations, but they all have a similar technique: 4 side steps, where the emphasis is on the latter.
- The main position is a closed position, where the girl's hands are on top of her partner's hands. Moreover, the frame should be quite rigid so that the partners understand the signs of the body about what kind of movement will be now. The girl can imagine that she is resting on the windowsill with her palms, slightly pressing her hands down, her shoulders are also lowered.
- The position can also be: the partner's left hand rests on the partner's shoulder, and the right one is in his right hand. Like a normal slow dance.
- The partner's points of control depend on the tightness of the frame and the type of bachata. It can be either close contact with the hips and knees, or wide in the usual frame with the hands with a variety of footworks.
- Learning begins with the usual basic step, which is called "plumbing". We set aside the right leg to the right, substitute the left, again the right and again the left. And we go back. One, two, three, four - in one direction, the same in the other. Nothing complicated: leg to leg and back, while walking with the hip, not the foot. At the same time, girls should add emphasis in the hips to decorate the dance. At the moment of emphasis, it is necessary to make a movement of the pelvis in a spiral in the direction of up and down and back down and back, while there is no transfer of weight to the toe.
- No matter how it sounds, if the girl does not understand the partner's signals, the responsibility lies with the partner. You can argue with this for a long time, a girl can be stubborn, want to lead herself, but if a partner cannot convey to her with his body what he wants to do, even a female teacher will not understand him. Therefore, a great responsibility in dance lies with a man, and his most important goal is to make the girl decorate the dance with herself.
- Emotional contact is very important. So the dance immediately acquires sensuality and even outwardly becomes better. If the person is not pleasant to you, you are unlikely to enjoy the dance. Here you can either simply avoid the person, or try to change the attitude towards him.
- Emancipation. If one of the partners is constantly pinched, twitching and nervous, there will be much less understanding. At first, of course, the dance will look clumsy, but only by honing the technique and trusting the partner, the result will be visible.
- You can start practicing at home. But do not neglect the formulation of the main subtleties by the teacher.
- Try and try again! You need to attend the parties dedicated to this dance, Open Air. There you can meet and practice with partners of various levels, which will definitely have a positive effect on the ability to both lead and lead. As practice shows, engaging in social dancing liberates a person and trains his trust in the opposite sex. It will be useful for both men and women in both cases - self-confidence training.
