Turn on some traditional bachata music and then tell me you don’t feel good.
This music (ah, just listen to that Spanish guitar) and style of dancing brings a huge smile to my face and gives me energy. Ask any of my students, when this music plays, I start skipping and jumping around like a kid in a candy store — instant JOY!!
Cardio, Resistance Training & FUN: Dance Workout + Traditional Bachata Routine
Because of this awesome music, this dance routine is fast, high energy and tiring — aka a great dance workout! The steps are small, you’re pushing through the floor, and you have to have quick muscle activation to keep on time with music.
It’s a cardio exercise, resistance training and fun all in one! Start with the workout and tutorial video below as we learn the moves and put them together piece by piece. Then, head over to the full combo, and perform it with me to one of my most favorite traditional bachata songs, “El Verde de Tus Ojos” by Kiko Rodriguez!
