What You’ll Learn
A focused weekly class to demystify Sensual Bachata mechanics so patterns in Level 3 click faster.
Apply It to Social Bachata
- How sensual movement integrates with basic Bachata steps
- Lead/follow clarity for smoother, safer connection
- Musical phrasing: when (and when not) to add body movement
Modern vs Sensual Bachata: What’s the Difference?
DF’s core path starts with Modern Bachata in Levels 1–2. Level 3 adds Sensual technique. This class strengthens that foundation.
Footwork • Turns • Partner Patterns
- Crisp basics, rotations, and travel
- Clear timing & consistent partner frame
- Introduces styling without heavy body waves
Body Movement • Isolations • Flow
- Head/torso waves, rib/hip isolations, elastic connection
- Weight transfer drives movement (not the other way around)
- Safety & consent first; musical textures over tricks
