Shall We Dance? Hustle and Bachata Dancing Class

Shall We Dance? Hustle and Bachata Dancing Class


Please come on Sunday, October 9 at 4 p.m. to the dancing event where you will be able to learn Hustle-dancing skills and Bachata dance moves with our American instructor Manny Ongsing. Bachata is a sultry, heart-pulsing dance step that originated in the Dominican Republic and associated with Bachata music. Bachata is a style of social dance, which is now danced all over the world. The dance consists of three steps with a hip motion, as well as a Cuban hip movement, and a tap on the fourth beat. With a fairly rich yet recent history, Bachata does vary significantly from style to style and area to area, so don’t miss it. In addition, we will introduce you to Hustle dance. The Hustle is a catchall name for some disco dances, which were extremely popular in the 1970s. Today it mostly refers to the unique partner dance done in ballrooms and nightclubs to disco music. It has some features in common with swing dance. You do not necessarily need to bring a partner, as we will rotate partners throughout the class.

Note: please, bring a bottle of water for yourself!
