Very well explained... Like your dedication to teach us. No worries about the long video. Your efforts are more valuable :)

[@praveen8891]

this explanation is as wonderful as the words in the song - Amazing

[@manoosallami2868]

Marius you are amazing 😍 your all video is amazing, thanks so much for that kind of video and all your video are very helpful... I love it 😍😍

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank youuuuu (marius here 🥰)

[@diegovaldesresendiz5700]

Creo que eres maravilloso, vya forma mas practica y sencilla de seguir el conteo y entender los cambios y reinicios, que joya de video, que joya.

[@alfacentauri3686]

Amazing stuff 😉. This video and tutorial 44 on musicality has transformed my way of listening to bachata music and thinking of combos. I've finished the beginner class. Now I'll have to recap the combos we've learnt and fit them into the 4x8 framework.

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Glad you found this usefull. That's what we aim for :D

[@RomanZakirov-k2b]

Thank you so much for this! It helps so much to hear actual music being broken down like this. Would really be great to have more song breakdowns like this. Thanks again for what you do :)

[@MariusElenaBachata]

We appreciate it. Gonna do more 😇

[@Ladru_AMS]

your vibe is amazing! thx for explaining and teaching us. learned a lot :D!

[@Alex-eq7uh]

you are so awesome, absolutely love your work sir! I am dancing while looking at the video and it looks like you are in front of me giving me advice, super cool, I love like you talk to your audience naturally like you would talk to a friend

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you. That is the secret to good teaching, talking to you like a friend, a human being... and not talk to you with superiority :D

[@mf9482]

Very useful. This stuff is rarely explained so very grateful to have your analysis. Maybe next you could do a song with a sensual/bass intro as it would be interesting to see your analysis. Thank you.

[@MariusElenaBachata]

M F thank you. Sure will do. Do you have a song in mind?

[@mf9482]

Dansatorii Anonimi How about Prince Royce - Deja Vu or Romeo Santos - Propuesta Indecente? Both popular songs but neither seem to fit into the 8×4 pattern perfectly... Or maybe I cannot count!

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Great. Will don both of them :D Maybe tomorrow.

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Finally got the time to make a song :D New format... Hope it helps. This song is a little tricky . Propuesta Indecente one. Gimme your thoughts and questions :))) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5q2e2yXaruoeNU

[@timotytimoly9213]

Really great explaination. I think that this is the only way for a beginner to understand this topic. Thank you for these videos.

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Glad it helps. That's our mission... Making everything easier to understand and accessible to everyone... :)

[@veselinkirev4565]

[@tanyaromanova9927]

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you ... :P

[@yannbachata8926]

Nice video man and excellent song choice!

[@gaetanoangelino2798]

ciao sei bravissimo!!! anche se non parliamo la stessa lingua sei molto chiaro👍

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you :)

[@Nantukopunk]

Great video!

[@santhiyag1650]

You have explained the different parts of a song nicely. I am a beginner bachata student. I am trying to understand the bachata musicality. Do you have any video that explains the whole musicality including: How to identify the beats especially the no 1, how to move body organs according to the music, the structure of bachata music etc.

[@dahath1550]

I like to learn Bachata because of you.thank you.

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you. Our pleasure.

[@NormanIves]

Quality stuff, thanks!

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you :D

[@MariusElenaBachata]

So... what song should I do next?

[@boombeachelmacanudobeststr4785]

Dansatorii Anonimi Do you know a great way to understand musicality ? DVDs videos or something that help , because it's hard for beginners to understand the 12345678 if we don't have Idea about it. What instrument should be the one that let you dance better. Or if I can follow any instrument in the music?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

BoomBeachElMacanudo Best Strategy hello. I am making free videos about music from scratch. I will post this weekend. And maybe sometime i will make some dvd with full details. Stay tuned :)

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Hi. I will make some "from scratch" musicality tutorials and you will understand everything. Thank you for your ideea. Maybe down the line I will make more complex tutorial on music and will make them like a package or something. Stay tuned this weekend :D

[@EvelinakiMc]

aventura los infieles, mi corazoncito, ciego de amor!

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Heyy... It only took me like an year but I finally made my first 2 premium materials -> www.salchatadojo.com/shop/ Let me know if it helps :D

[@me08y1]

Can you explain what you mean by change and middle please?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

change - the dancer's count goes something like this 1234 1234 5678 (you see those 1234 1234, that means there was a change in rhythm) middle - the middle of the phrase. Usually 2x8 2x8

[@Cristian-jg5yg]

Genio!

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Thank you :D

[@Fwildanger]

Multumesc ca-ti faci atatea munca sa ne invati ritmul ! Gracias chico ;-)

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Con mucho gusto ! :D Cu mare drag.

[@andrewpuckett3456]

I love your videos and I am interested to watch the whole playlist of Bachata musicality. Do you have a Spotify playlist of your favorite Bachata songs?

[@georgianabujoiu2120]

Very useful. Thank you!

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Glad to be of help ! :D

[@amitsails]

Thanks for the videos. Your videos are very comprehensive and easy to understand. Could you add some shines for Bachata to practice the footwork and body work? Thanks

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Sure.Will do :D

[@zeropain9319]

Great video!! Question, so when you get to a break, it seems like it's 4 counts, then the counting starts from 1-8 again. So, what do I do in the break. Is it the mambo step? I think right now I dance through the break and continue on my 1-4, yikes.

[@gmkpremier]

I just started dancing and feeling the music and matching my moves to the music is the hardest part so far. I'd appreciate your insight on that. Thanks

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Hello. Glad to help. If you have a specific question it would be easier to help you. But, in general... you need to keep the tempo, just like an army-march... steady for the entire song. Then, the next thing would be to focus on your legs and steps so that later they work on auto-pilot and you can focus on the moves, hands and what-not. Then, learn and hardwire some moves and focus only on music so that you can only feel the music, hear the music and adapt you moves, speed and steps to the music.

[@gmkpremier]

Thanks for the reply. Right now Im working on learning moves and feeling the music. So far, I find changing rythm during the song a lot harder as beginner lead. I love your tutorials on use them a lot. Thanks for the good work!

[@sinashahbaba]

How can we find out when there is the change and when there is the break? 4x8 and when the change follows it? And when does the break follow it?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Hello. To be able to best respond to your question, can you ask again but in more details? You want to know when the change in "rhythm" happens and when the break happens?

[@sinashahbaba]

@@MariusElenaBachataTnx for your reply. I checked your 2nd video in musicality series and you have responded it there. I wanted to know how to find out what to expect from before, whether a change is coming or a break. My 2nd question is; sometimes we lose the counting and rhythm. How can we start again the counting and get back to rhythm without losing the musicality?

[@Val7ntyn]

Спасибо, очень понравилось!

[@ChevroletGirl1974]

I don't know if you do the musicality videos anymore but I'd love to see Ay Bendito by Romeo Santos analyzed. It has an interesting beat change that I think is actually Flamenco right before the song ends

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Can't promise anything, but I will give it a look :D

[@rimantasdanilevicius6754]

Actually pretty good tutorial, Would be great to see the same video with visual counts all the time and dancers dancing along this song to see what moves they perform. But I kind feel like in order to learn listen to Bachata music and dance you just need to learn all the songs :D seems impossible to have good timing if you first time hear the song and dance on rhythm So how dance when you say break, or pause, or change? What does it mean? What happens with dance moves?

[@SoulMoves44]

Is it possible for you to make a video of musicality of the song “sin fin “ from Romeo Santos & Justin Timberlake 🙏🙏🙏

[@jeromerose3867]

How do you anticipate each break?

[@fazedies]

Thanks for the video. It's very helpful. Anyway,what do you call by "middle"? The 4-5 counts?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Hit me up with a time stamp in the video because I don't remember without watching the full video again. It's an old video :D But I will gladly explain if you give me the minute in the video.

[@fazedies]

​@@MariusElenaBachataFor example, 2:28 is for word "middle". The 1 count prior to "middle" is at 2:23.

[@djtino7240]

gooooood

[@CrazyIemon]

Very interesting video. I like how you mentioned when the music starts to fade on the 4th "eight count" a break is usually coming. However, how can you tell when the break is going to occur on the 5th beat of that 4th eight count, or at the end on the 8th beat?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

Hello. Couldn't answer you in short no matter how hard I tried in text ... so here's the video response :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OngoJmqNtoo6c Hope it helps.

[@Alex-eq7uh]

what is a "change"?

[@MariusElenaBachata]

In this case is a phrase change. Something different will come in the song... different from the phrase before (usually after 4x8 counts)

[@Alex-eq7uh]

@@MariusElenaBachata thank you so much for your kind reply, absolutely love the content!!
