Also a good way to tell them apart, salsa usually has more of a traditional sound with bongos and pianos, whereas bachata music seems to be more "R&B" slow romantic music, a lot more guitar influence. (So you dont cross up your moves when they switch songs 😂)

I went to a ballroom dance class a few years ago through a local ballroom dance club, had two hour lessons for $10 twice a month, I think it was. Bachata was the first dance I learned. It is so easy and fun!

Thank you for showing me what a good salsa looks like 😂. I have my first high school musical coming up where I have to salsa, but I have never danced before. This video helped me see how to not be so stiff when I do it, thanks! 🙌🏻

Do you know which one is better for night club dance?

[fernandosoto]

I’m a dude who’s college who wants to simply learn the basics so I don’t look like a stick figure on the dance floor 😂 which do you think is better for me?

[MarwanMahdy]

Thank you for teaching us these beautiful dances, even though I'm not a good dancer, you are a wonderful couple. I'm sorry for my broken language.🤍
