How to Put Bachata Dance Steps Together

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Start with the basic side to side steps as you put all of the bachata dance steps together. Step right with your right foot, slide your left foot to meet it, step again with your right foot, and slide your left foot to meet it. Do the same steps again, but starting with your left foot.

2. Add the crossing basic bachata steps as you put the bachata dance steps together. Step to the right, cross over with your left foot, step with the right, slide you left foot, and swing go the right with your hip. Do the crossing basic steps again, but starting with your left foot.

3. Go forward and back as you put the bachata steps together. Start with your right foot by stepping forward, step up with your left foot, step forward again with your right foot, and step up again with your left. Step back in the same manner, beginning with your left foot.

4. Return to the basic bachata crossing steps as you put the bachata steps together.

5. Include the left turn as you move to the left by stepping and pivoting on your left foot so that you do a half turn and face the back. Step back with your left foot while you pivot on your right and do another half turn so you face the front. Do a right turn in the same manner but start with your right foot.

6. Put the turns together to that you turn to the right then turn back to the left as you put of the bachata steps together without doing the basic bachata steps in between each turn.
