Bachata is a genre of music that originated in the countryside  of the Domincan Republic. Its music is often tales of romance and hearbreak and originally referred to as 'bittersweet' However in the early 1990s, the sound was modernized and it was at this time that bachata began to emerge internationally. The new electric bachata soon became a phenomenon, and today bachata is as popular as Salsa and Merngue in the latin american dance scene. The dance is a four-step beat achieved with a unique hip movement on the four count. The male leads the female with subtle communication using pushing and pulling on the hands to guide the direction in which to move or to hint on upcoming turns
