Learning the Steps and Choreography

For this month’s choreography, we are combining a Latin dance style, Bachata, and the modified Foxtrot to create a romantic yet beginner friendly dance pattern. We performed our demo to the song, “Best Part” but you are welcome to dance it to any song that has a similar tempo. Feel free to use our playlist to practice. Also, we encourage you to be creative with the moves that you’ve learned. You can mix and match the steps and create a dance pattern that both you and your partner enjoy. Have fun dancing!
