Beginner Bachata Classes @ Arthur Murray Dance Studio Of Boston

Theres no shortage of wonderful music when theres a Bachata band around. In fact, guitar (both electric and acoustic) provides the main sounds. Originally, people say, the first recordings of Bachata music sounded like a common Latin American Bolero. This is why some regard the Bachata as a romantic dance accompanied by serenading tunes. The Bachata remained a Latin American dance favorite until Dominican Republic immigrants brought it the US in the 1980s. It was then that the Bachata dance craze grew -- especially in major cities like New York. American singers began to incorporate Bachata sounds into their music. In fact, Bachatango became a real thing here in 1981 when Grace Jones released Ive seen that face before , an adapted version of Astor Piazzollas libertango. More Info below.
