wow…………………… for a lots of people that are not even latinos there is a lots of love for bachata to bad that your love for bachata is not real but a wish… but is all good , when you put something in your head some times you begin to believe your own lies is human nature. For you too love it you have to understand it and you don’t simple as that.

When my luck is down and everything seems to go wrong….

Bachata with its dance and music is the one thing that puts the smile and sparkle back. It gives me freedom to express myself and to let my inner self free.

It reminds me that I’m full of Passion and Love for Life that I forget all my troubles. Viva La Passion y el Amor!

to me Bachata is danced with the soul and from the heart. The sensuous movements in perfect alignment with your parter creates an almost ethereal experience where you lose yourself in the music and that particular moment in time. When i’m dancing the rest of the world fades and there is only me and my partner in flawless communion of our bodies. Each dance is an exhilarating experience.

Bachata:

Bachata is like Pringles, ones you start you can’t stop.
Bachata is like a chocolate; sweet, smooth and addictive.
Bachata is like a cheese, the longer you dance the better you become.
And finally Bachata is like a fruit salad, the fusion of traditional and moderna style.

Art, I like your analogy of bachata dancers vs salsa dancers. Very nice!

On your last paragraph, the bachata dance is evolving, same goes for the music. I’m actually eager to see how it evolves

Robert C. and Anthony M both hit the nail on the head. Bachata lets you love and enjoy it instead of ‘taking over’ and just going frigging crazy like salsa does. I still like salsa but bachata vs. salsa is like the difference between a girl who’s just friendly and easy to get along with vs. some chic who’s always primping, nervous and high maintinance……..i.e. a dance you can play with without crashing, get to know on your own terms and really build an equal, strong relationship with.

I just hope bachata doesn’t where it’s so complicated that it’s not fun for average people to do…..like salsa has become to some degree.
