The hardest part is getting started, or so they say... so congratulations on taking part in your first Bachata class!
In this introductory class, the main objective is to learn how to control your body weight by shifting from side to side or changing legs to the rhythm of the music.
And before you start, prepare a cup and keep it nearby, you will need it for the third class.
