I never thought that I would like to Bachata. Back in the day when Kelvin and I first started we would play all salsa mambo chachacha and a little Hip Hop because that is what Shaka would play at his house parties and we actually tried to pattern our parties after Shaka's house parties ,
If the dj would play a merengue or Bachata they were banned from ever playing at a StuckOnSalsa party again. We were StuckOnSalsa and we did not wnat to hear anything else..
After going on one of the SOS All Star Salsa cruises and seeing people dance to Bachata for one hour straight and having fun I realized that a lot of people like Bachata . Then We had a Bachata room at one of our Spring Fever jams and the room was packed .
At the DC Salsa Congress they had a Interntional Room with Bachata and it was great .
Lee "El Gringuito" has a Bachata Meet Up with over 1, 000 members. I had to change with the times . After learning some moves from Lee Tato Paredes Jorge Ataca and Rudy Lopez I no longer cringe when I hear Bachata . I actually like it . I can now hold my own with any one on the Bachata Floor
Wow I thoight I would never like Bachata
