Alright, we're going to start with our side to side Bachata basic. We're just going to show you first and then we'll turn around and break it down. It's pretty simple, we're just going to go from side to side, starting with out right foot we're going to go step, together, step, tap. Step, together, step, tap. Step, together, step, tap. Step, together, step, tap. Keeping to remember is that when I say, "tap", you're not putting any weight on that foot, you're just going to touch it and then step on it again. So, now we're going to break it down from the back and really, whether you start with your left foot or right foot it doesn't really matter, Bachata isn't at structured as, for example, Salsa is. There's not a lot of rules. So, facing this way, we're going to go ahead and start with the left foot this time. We're going to step to the side left, together with the right, to the side and then we tap. And we just touch the foot, no weight on it. Going back the other way. Step, together, step, tap. Step, together, step, tap. Step, together, step, tap. Good! You can also add a hip, if you want to, girls and guys can do this, although the girls probably want to exaggerate it a little bit more. And it would look like this, going to the left. Step, together, step, hip. Step, together, step, hip. One, two, three, hip, and five, six seven. That's your side to side basic for Bachata.
