Bachata Caribbean Style


Volume 3 - The Exercises

 

 

This DVD is organized very differently
from most dance DVDs

This is not a DVD to ‘watch’
this is a DVD to exercise with

it will guide you through a number
Bachata footwork exercises.

 

The DVD is interactive:
choose the exercise yoiu want to practise, the speed,
and the exercise will loop forever

You can practice following the steps
at your leisure and for as long as you need!

 

 

You will practise the footwork you have seen
in the 2 previous DVDs of this series
“The method” and “The demos”.

 

 

Here is how the DVD works

We now guide you through one exercise so it will be
clear how to use the DVD.

 

first, in the main Menu,
you have the choice of three kind of exercises:

“basic elements”,
“rhythm"
" hand coordination” and
“ footwork”.

suppose you choose an exercise
from the “footwork” set.


You will see a number of exercises available.

Suppose you choose “Exercise 6”.

Once again, highlight it with your remoter control
and press Enter;

 

Now you can choose what speed you want to
exercise at; you have 3 choices

“slow”,
which is useful to learn the sequence of steps

“normal speed”
to get the footwork fluid and smooth for the real dance.

 

Once you made your choice of speed and sound press Play.

We added a “rhythmic cue”, which plays
the rhythm pattern of the actual steps in the sequence.
This is very useful to memorize the sequence.

Now the exercise will loop forever and you can practice following the steps
at your leisure and for as long as you need!

 

The footwork is interspersed with basic steps, to learn how to get in and out of the sequence.
The counter helps you time the sequence correctly and the guide on the right tells you
when the basic steps occur and when to get ready for the sequence.
What else could you possibly need?


Important!!!!

The “arm coordination” set is crucial!
Not only to learn the basic syncopations, but also to learn how to isolate
the hand movements from the footwork.

we learnt how important this is in the ‘method’ DVD. Practice those exercise carefully..
the footwork part is easy, but the coordination with the hands is not…
