Bachata is a romantic Latin social dance, which originated in the Dominican Republic and is now popular around the world. The music and dance have been influenced by Cuban Bolero, Merengue, Salsa, and Cumbia.

 

Bachata dance socials are common in nightclubs, bars, and ballrooms, making it a useful dance to learn for anyone who wants to dance socially. Given the romance of the dance, it's a great dance to learn for a date night in the Bay Area.
