Having attended my first Congress, this video has helped me make sense of so much. No one bothered to actually explain what rhythms are and bachata back home and I'm not sure why. We've done them in warm-ups but I've never once heard the word, syncopation. It's like trying to learn how to grapple in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and not learn the importance of the ankle and hip mobility. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have to make a correction. You call the last rhythm a Double.its actually a HALF because you are moving on half the normal speed whixh is on the musical HALF NOTE (1 hold 2 hold 3 hold 4 hold = each hold is 2 counts). Whereas a Double Step is what you called Syncopation because its movement on the 8th note ( aka 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND = 8 counts) and the dancer is moving at 1 times (Double) the normal speed whixh ia a muaical 8th note When understand the Physical music annotation teaching the step count associated with that becomes easier

Ivan, you need music to interpret with felling and emotion, that is what dance is, if not you will be just moving not dancing, if ten people are listening to one song all ten people can interpret the song differently, that's what the music is for.... that's why there are many beats and sounds layered on top of one another that create the music, so by thinking outside of the box you can play with the timing and sounds and rhythms from other dances with you bachata music......like Bachtango, Bachata sensual, Bachata Traditional, Urban Bachata ect

If you are going to describe where the music instruments play their rhythms, I would think you should play some music examples! I seems you want the dancers to be able to hear and pick out these sounds and pattern their dancing to the music . . . . . so ? where is the music? I am a musician and notice dancers routinely do not match their steps to the songs or the speed of the songs.

I'm sorry but a lot of the information being given in this video is incorrect. Starting with the basic step timing. Yes, it can be done to the bongo while it's playing in majao (bachata rhythmic section where the bongo plays 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) but that's not the standard time. During the majority of bachata songs, the bongo is playing in the derecho rhythmic pattern (when the bongo plays 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8) to go with a few improvised riffs in between. 2nd incorrect rhythm being taught is the guira rhythm (glad that you made that correction along with the quick, quick, slow timing for bachata in your comment). You mentioned that you do the triple step to the guira rhythm but the guira doesn't play a 1, 2, 3 and 4 rhythm. The guira (along with the other 4 bachata instruments) only play these 3 rhythms in bachata along with a few improvised riffs in between. The timing for the 3 rhythms for the bongo and guira are as follows: Derecho (1 and 2 and 3 and 4), Majao (1, 2, 3, 4), Mambo (1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4.) The syncopated step in this video is being done to the derecho rhythm.
