We always recommend to dance on the "1" - Music counts by fours (1,2,3,4) (1,2,3,4) and so on. We count 1-8 as dancers since we have to complete a full basic. So for us, it does matter if you are off by four counts since you would be dancing on "5" instead of "1" but that is only if really want to work on musicality and be on time if you are leaning towards a more proper way of dancing. Hope this helps!

Finally. A dance teacher that teaches how to dance with the music. People should already know this, but they don’t.....Great video!
Thank you! so glad you like it!
This always drove me mental. Thanks for explaining it so simply!
glad to help!
Very well explained. As a beginner, I really had trouble finding the count, but this explained it really well.
Glad you found it helpful!
Often I don't know what to do when songs begin, before bongo kicks in.
Maybe you made a video covering this issue? ;)
These videos teach a lot
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. HOW TO FIND THE NO 1?

no problem Liza! thank you for watching!
Very helpful video :)

You should make an app similar to the Salsa Rythms app but for Bachata. My biggest problem is figuring out the beat.
Great idea! We also have a musicality course to help you find the beat :)
génial
gracias!
Great job!
Can you make one with real songs?
Sure can!
