Dancing for kids may be fun, but if you’ve tried dancing as an adult, you’d know what great stress buster it is! And if you too have been looking to shake it a little, then we must tell you that ‘Bachata’ is the latest dance form everybody is going ga ga after! For all those who don’t know, Bachata is a passionate dance form which may seem like Salsa but is not. Read on to know more about Bachata and also where you can learn this sensual dance form in the city.
1. Bailaloca Dance Academy
‘Baila’ means dance and ‘Loca’ means crazy in Spanish. Baila Loca means ‘to dance with freedom’ and their tagline says ‘let your soul dance’. Tucked in Panchsheel Park, this is one of the most popular dance studios in the city.
We got in touch with the trainer Shalini Sen here and she told us some pretty cool stuff about Bachata- “I and Vishal started Baila Loca dance studio which primarily focuses on teaching Bachata dance style for social dancing, as well as other social partner dance styles. I learned the Bachata when I was 27. I loved it as the music and movement resonated with me. I have been teaching Bachata for over 10 years now”.
