5 Ways to Feel the Music

Most beginners hear one layer of a bachata song, the beat. But there are usually four or five conversations happening at once, and you can dance any of them.

Start with the guitar

Put a song on and ignore the percussion entirely. Move only when the requinto, the lead guitar, moves. Suddenly your body phrases instead of marching.

Do this for one week, one song a day, and I promise your partner will feel the difference before you can explain it.
