SALSA
A form of street dance that has its roots from Caribbean (especially in Cuba and Puerto Rico), Latin and North America along with a strong African influence in the music as well as the dance.
The dance originated through the mixture of Mambo, Danzón, Guaguancó, Cuban Son, and other typical Cuban dance forms.
Salsa can be danced solo or with a partner though it is usually the latter. As a social dance, improvisation and spontaneity are always present.
Just like the sauce, salsa is hot, spicy, sometimes flirty and most importantly, fun!

Bachata
Bachata originated in the countryside and rural neighborhoods of
the Dominican Republic. Characterized by themes of romance,
especially that of heartbreak and sadness, the genre used to be
known as amargue ("bitterness," or "bitter music") until
the term Bachata became popular. Today, it is a very
beautiful, sensual and romantic form of social dance!
E.Motion Bachata
At En Motion, we have incorporated both open and close hold styles
into our classes. Particularly, we incorporate a unique
close-embrace hip leading technique where the connection of hips
and body isolation movements are infused into the dance. This
ensures control over both weight transfer and hip movement which
help in ensuring synchronization of movements for both male and
female (including the hip movement which is largely isolated in
all other styles).
In addition, we have infused elements of many other different
dance forms such as Tango, Jazz, Hip Hop and so on, into our
syllabus. Another important component is the interpretation of
different Bachata songs in a beautiful and artistic manner so that
the dance may be felt even more deeply.
We term this affectionately as “E.Motion Bachata”.
