How to Do the Bachata Square _ Bachata Dance

Dancing Bachata .

This is how to do the Bachata Square .

So we're gonna start first by going to the left on the number one .

We're gonna go one and fourth , two , three and tap .

Now we're gonna go to the right , right back , middle and tap .

Let's do it a little bit faster .

We're gonna go side forward , middle , tap , side , back , middle , tap , side , forward , middle , tap , side , back , middle tap .

Now , this step is very interactive .

We're gonna show it to you first .

From this angle , diagonal , we can do it in close and open .

We're gonna start in close .

We're gonna go 567 and 123567 .

Gentlemen , notice how I'm off to the lady's side to avoid stepping on her feet and so she can have her own path when she goes forward .

So , always make sure we're protecting the ladies , especially their feet .

567 .

Now we're gonna try it an open position .

Three tap 567 .

Tap 123 , tap 567 .

Gentlemen , there is a little resistance that I give her to guide her forward and back to kind of lead her into the step .

And ladies , you keep a nice little resistance that helps us to kind of push and pull as well .

Ladies , it's very important for you to collect your feet when you're going back , there's no tap there , but you collect your feet , you collect to go forward , tap , collect to go back , even if there is no tap , make sure you keep it sexy and clean .

We don't want to have open legs when you're wearing a sexy dress .

And gentlemen just make sure that you're really marking the steps as you're going along .

The ladies always show off their legs , but we're always there to mark for her just in case at the end when we're ready to dance again , she knows where we are because I'm marking the timing for her , but I'm also guiding her with my posture .

So now let's demonstrate it with some music .

56721232 , side , forward , side back .

Now in an open position , remember ladies don't forget about the resistance .

And gentlemen , this is an interactive step .

So again , make sure you're interacting with your partner .

Be playful , smile at each other .

And that is your Bachata Square .
