Hi Bachateros!.
Welcome to a new tutorial of our Bachata Series for Beginners.
We are Carlos and Claudia, teachers at the Dance School ¡Deberías Estar Bailando!.
Well, well, well!,…
Two tutorials of Bachata in two weeks.
What happened?.
Very simple.
Previous tutorial received a lot of affection, and that encourages us to make a new one.
Really, thank you very much for your support.
And what do we have for today?.
Well, today we are going to teach you the Bachata Dance Positions.
Very easy!.
Right Position,…
Left Position,…
Down,…
And up!.
Are you ready?.
As we explained in the tutorial #2 of the Series, there are two Dance Positions:
The Closed Position and the Open Position.
You must also know that according to the Position, we can do different techniques.
So we're going to teach you how to move from Closed to Open position, and Open to Closed position,
without losing your Basic Step.
The Closed Dance Position is the one we have used so far.
We begin the Basic Step to start dancing, we can turn in couple
and some more things that we will talk about soon.
And this is the Open Dance Position.
We are separated, some distance away, and holding hands.
And just like in the Closed Position, we can do the Basic Step.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
And what will this new position serve us?.
Well, we will be able to perform techniques like this,…
and this,…
and this one too.
Etc, etc, etc.
All right!, I want to do all those things,…
So?…,
How do I move from Closed Position to Open Position?
Well, in a very simple way, separating us.
But not in any way.
From the Closed Position we will gradually separate from the woman,
at the same time that we move with the Basic Step.
Performing a total of 4 steps.
Look,…
1, 2, 3 and 4.
1, 2, 3 and 4.
If you have seen well, when separating and doing our Basic Step, we walk diagonally.
During his movement, we will continue the same with our Basic Step.
We must not separate, or man will not be able control the separation distance.
What do we do with our hands?.
At the same time that we separate from the woman, we release her
and we lower our hands to this position.
Look that with the Basic Step,…
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
And now we will return to the Closed Dance Position. How?,…
Getting closer!.
We could, but we like to do it in another way.
If to open our Position we have separated from the woman,
now to close it, we will approach the woman.
We pull her during counts 1, 2, 3 and 4, at the same time we open her arms.
We will advance towards the man, while continuing to move with our Basic Step.
Diagonally and without haste.
Look,…
1, 2, 3 and 4.
1, 2, 3 and 4.
Why do we open her arms?.
Because that way we can clear her side
and be able to put our hand on her back easily.
We show you it with the Basic Step.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The most common mistake is to separate or approach too fast, without doing all the steps.
This can lead you to miss the Basic Step.
So no hurry.
You should also know that these Position changes can be made in the other direction of the Basic.
We did it during counts 1, 2, 3 and 4.
But you can also do it during counts 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The result will be the same.
With the Open Dance Position you are ready to make the individual turns,
of both Woman and Man.
But,… Which one do we start?, men or women?, women or men?.
