Bachata refers to both a style of music and a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. The dance, like many Latin dances, is romantic and sensual, and danced much closer than Salsa. The music is full of sadness, and the combination of these two is a gorgeous display. A common move in Bachata is a side-to-side motion followed by a hip movement; though that is only one element you'll see in the dance. When put together, a Bachata dance is beautiful.
