BachaZouk is a contemporary fusion that combines the musical phrasing and partner connection of Bachata with the fluidity, elasticity, and traveling patterns of Brazilian Zouk. Expect smooth transitions, expressive body movement, and combo structures that fit social floors.

• For social dancing: practical, floor-friendly combos and connection drills.
• Technique first: posture, frame, lead/follow clarity, balance & body control.
• Musicality: phrasing, accents, and dynamic texture that work for both genres.

• Connection & Frame: elastic vs. compact, tone changes, clear lead/follow pathways.
• Body Movement: rib/hip isolations, waves, transitions; safe introduction to Zouk-inspired flow.
• Traveling Patterns: space management, exits, and re-entries that fit busy floors.
• Musicality: phrasing, accents, and breath that honor Bachata while borrowing Zouk texture.
• Social-ready Combos: buildable sequences with options for both roles.
