Hello fellow salseros and bachateros!
Here’s a a compilation of a bachata choreography by Juan Ruiz and Samantha. I tried a different approach on the video, instead of recording just “a performance”, I jointed together various performances even our training sessions to make it look more like a music video
Enjoy the bachata moderna performance and comments are welcome!
Hi guys!
Here’s my latest freestyle/demo of Bachata Moderna in Sydney, Australia.
I know some people won’t like it as Bachata Moderna is more showy than the traditional Bachata. But, I’m in a quest to push Bachata and take it to next level, as it has happen that many dancers, we learnt the basics of bachata and then they feel that that’s it in Bachata, no need to take more classes or learn more (that happened to me too).
Bachata Moderna is based on the Bachata traditional (1, 2, 3 and hip) and the close connection, but it adds new fundamentals to the dance (Cross on1, on2, on3, cross over, About turn, exit on1). This fundamentals helps you to take your bachata to the next level and create a lot of more combinations and moves.
I’m open for comments, suggestions, after all, we all are in this together, we all love dancing.

Hello.
I must say that addicted2salsa.com is a wonderful forum!
I spent a lot of time looking for a forum relevant to my hobby.
Finally, I found that website.
Excuse me if “http://social.addicted2salsa.com” is a not proper category to post , however I couldn’t find better http://community.vitamix.com/BryanaLackey – 
Bachata moderna workshop footage.
Bachata moderna is not only the fusion of various styles into the bachata rhythm and beat. Bachata moderna is based on the crosses steps: cross on 1, cross on 2, cross on 3 and cross over, besides the bachata traditional steps (1,2,3 and hip/tap)
I know some people don’t like bachata moderna because they prefer the traditional style bachata, but this new style is danced together with the bachata traditional.
Bachata moderna is great for dancing urban latin bachatas songs.
Have a look, i hope you guys like it.
I’m still not a fan of bachata moderna, but looks like I will have to learn it, because more and more people are dancing it, sheeesh
i do think that there has to be room for everything. i like the traditional/original/dominican/(whatever you wanna call it) style of bachata better. can’t dance it though i need more practice… after being reborn in r. d. …of course..
what i really like about traditional is that it gives you more room for improv. it challenges you to keeping up with the footwork and the beat… it can’t be teached. just learned. and as in every good learning process the best has to come out from oneself.

Luis,
This song is in the CD I bought in September (I know who buys CDs anymore, I still like having the hard copy and liner notes=)

The album is strong as a whole. Louie was an absolute stud in his day. Chin Chon Chow, Guaguanco de Los Violentos are two of my all time favorites songs period. There’s some good cha-cha (Azucar in Neuva York), and boogaloo in there as well.
