What an amazing weekend it was! The Sydney Bachata Festival was off the hook! And I couldn’t be any happier with the amazing job that the Bachateros did on the weekend!
THE PERFORMANCES
The Bachateros B-Unit team brought the house down with their cheeky and fun performance! Take a look at the video, can you believe that for most of them it was the first time performing? CONGRATULATIONS B-TEAM!
The Bachateros Advanced… they are awesome!! I love this team because I can showcase my crazy and innovative ideas in Bachata, and they do an amazing job on the stage. Thanks to Pascale Dernocoure for helping choreograph this routine. We got a lot of positive feedback, but one that stuck to me was… “This was the most memorable performance of the weekend!” WOW!
The Bachata performance with Alegria from Latin Spirit and Josie Cote from Tropical Soul. I loved this routine! We wanted to make it fun for us and for the public, and sure we did have fun! Thanks Alegria and Josie!
THE WORKSHOPS
I love to see so many Bachateros eager to learn more Bachata and the different styles of it. Bachata Moderna is a household name, having more than 100 Bachateros in each workshop!
With Pascale, we taught a funky Bachata shines footwork, and a sexy turn pattern. I always ensure that the combinations taught are leadable on the dance floor, if not… what is the point!
With Samantha, we taught Bachata Musicality (we talked about the magic number 4 – more on it in a future article) and we taught a combination based in 4 bars of 8. People LOVED this workshop! I had so many nice complements not only after the workshop, but days after!
Hope you guys enjoy the videos and our work! Looking forward on doing it again and again and again!
