Bachata Tango DVD Series
Jorge Elizando, originator of the Bachata Fusion style of bachata is proud to introduce to you his latest evolution of the bachata fusion style of dancing called… Bachata Tango.
In recent years Jorge has taken bachata, which has always been a very beautiful traditional dance style, and integrated it with other dance styles into a new social dance experience called Bachata Fusion.
Bachata Fusion has been wildly successful and popular because it satisfies the desire of today’s more knowledgeable, internationally oriented audiences for a dance that’s visually appealing, passionate, technically challenging and personally expressive.
Jorge is proud to introduce his latest paradigm modification to bachata called ‘Bachata Tango”.
In his extensive recent worldwise travels, Jorge realized that there was a potential fusion between the simple beauty of bachata with the dramatic elegance of Tango Nuevo. And in fact he observed that certain very progressive dancers were doing just that.
After much dance floor research, testing and development Jorge developed his new dance style and to assist him in introducing it to you he enlisted the help of two of the top tango dancers and instructors in the country, Ross Todorovic and Camille Yannantuono
Key characteristics of Jorge’s new style had to be that it was not only authentic but also realistically leadable in social dancing.
Camille, Ross and Jorge got together and after much planning and collaboration developed the beautiful DVD you have here, Bachata Tango, Volume 1, a beautiful integration of bachata, tango and a touch of other latin dances. Bachata Tango, Volume 1 is the newest expression of Bachata Fusion……designed to enable you to gain greater enjoyment of your dancing experiences.
This is truly one of the most unique dance instructional DVDs ever produced. Don’t miss it.
