Bachata Improvers B1

When I first saw Bachata, I was scared to dance. It just puts you inconveniently close to another person, where I as a leader must lead the follower. This was terrifying. I just thought I could dance alone in the classes 🙂 I started learning Bachata back in 2022 with Rado’s Sunday classes from A level and progressed through the years. I still go to every class with the childlike mind to learn and have fun. Bachata has changed my life a lot. I always felt that the creative part of my life is forgotten after childhood. I did dance for MJ and many of Bollywood songs during my much cherished school days. But, I lost this as part of growing up into adulthood. However, Bachata brought the creative part of me alive again. I respect this dance form, the dancers and the great instructors in the community. Bachata has helped me to be more open to feedback without getting defensive, appreciate everyone in the dancing community regardless of their skills, courage to give compliments to my dance partners, not being shy in receiving compliments, handling rejections with respect, and more importantly to stay humble, kind and respectful. Bachata has given me a lot of friends, not only in Estonia, but across the world. I owe a lot to this dance. Please stop thinking and just take up Bachata! It just makes you enjoy your life greatly, filling it with music, movement and people.

As a developer, I spend most of my time in a headspace-heavy, male-dominate environment. Starting a partner dance like Bachata has brought much-needed balance to my life. It's not just a dance-it's a global connection

The most enjoyable aspect of Bachata is it the fact that anywhere I travel I know I'm able to find a dance community in which i can easy integrate. Dancing bachata has Improved my mood on a positive way.

I was surprised by the variety of movements in dance and, most importantly, each trainer has his own approach. And this broadens your horizons even more. I can ask myself only one question. Why did it take me so long to get ready for dancing? But this is a rhetorical question. Of course, self-confidence is given by dancing, it does not say how much the whole organism comes into tone, do not wait for a convenient time, it goes away. Enjoy yourself at every moment, and dancing is one of the tools. It is self-love.
