How Do You Do Front To Back Partner Bachata Dance Steps?
Performing the forward and back basic bachata dance steps is easy, but knowing when to do them requires that you be able to lead or be led by your dance partner. This requires careful attention to the cues provided by the leader. Indicate to your partner that you want to perform the basic side step to the left (your partner’s right) by applying leftward pressure with your right hand while it is on your partner’s back while pulling your partner’s right arm slightly to the left. Tell your partner that you want to perform the basic side step to the right (your partner’s left) by applying rightward pressure with your right hand and pulling your partner’s right arm slightly to the right. Use your right hand to pull your partner toward you to begin the basic back steps. Your partner will move forward to do the basic forward steps. Release the pressure on your partner’s back to allow him or her to move backward and begin the basic back steps while you move forward to do the basic forward step
