What is bachata? 

Bachata is a romantic and rhythmic style of music and dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. It's known for its smooth, sensual movements and close partner connection. The dance is typically performed in a four-step pattern, with a signature hip movement on the fourth beat—making it both easy to learn and fun to master!
