What People Say
As a developer, I spend most of my time in a headspace-heavy, male-dominate environment. Starting a partner dance like Bachata has brought much-needed balance to my life. It's not just a dance-it's a global connection.
When I got into the community of bachata dancers, I met many good people with whom we are on the same wavelength! I also love bachata events - happy people enjoying music and dancing! This creates a special vibe of ease and joy!
The most enjoyable aspect of Bachata is it the fact that anywhere I travel I know I'm able to find a dance community in which i can easy integrate. Dancing bachata has Improved my mood on a positive way.
I was surprised by the variety of movements in dance and, most importantly, each trainer has his own approach. And this broadens your horizons even more. I can ask myself only one question. Why did it take me so long to get ready for dancing? But this is a rhetorical question. Of course, self-confidence is given by dancing, it does not say how much the whole organism comes into tone, do not wait for a convenient time, it goes away. Enjoy yourself at every moment, and dancing is one of the tools. It is self-love.
