http://www.sequencedanceuk.com Shannah and Phil dance through the Ria Bachata to music. • This 2019 dance was not entered on the inventive circuit, but is the creation of Marianne Teconi (AISTD) to offer a fun, easy to pick up, introduction to the Bachata rhythm. The Bachata originated in the Dominican Republic and has a similar feel to the Salsa, but with slightly slower, more fluid music. • • Marianne sent me the following information regarding the background of the dance • • Ria Bachata has been given it's name in memory of a dear friend who lost her battle with cancer on Friday 29th November 2019. Because she loved dancing bachata so much, I thought it would be fitting to name the Bachata sequence dance in her memory. Before she passed, I videoed my class dancing it, showed her, she loved it and tears rolled down her face. She was so touched that a dance was going to be named after her. Ria ran the classes with her husband at Nice 'n' Easy Dance Studios in Bournemouth, where I taught it and where everyone is now enjoying dancing the routine. Those of us who knew and loved Ria will always remember her every time we dance Ria Bachata. I hope everyone enjoys dancing it at their dance evenings and parties and that it brings lots of smiles to everyone - because that is what she would want • • We hope you enjoy giving this new sequence rhythm a try - and welcome any feedback you may have. • • RIA BACHATA • • Choreographed by Marianne Teconi • • Music: Senorita by Camila Cabello • • Bachata is in 4/4 time with a count from 1-8 Tempo: 30bpm • • Commence in double hand hold.
