Dance story – Bachata vs Ciabatta :)

Dear students of Dance with me Toronto!

You are lots of fun!!! You are my inspiration!!! Cannot help but share a story that made my week 🙂

Last Tuesday one long term client of DwmTo is coming for the first time to a lunch recreation group. We are doing Bachata, a Latin dance originated from the Dominican Republic.

My student: “Never heard, but at least the name sounds familiar – Ciabatta.” Other students: “Ciabatta is a bun, this is Bachata!”

Next day he comes to his private lesson excited and says: “I really liked that dance called Chikitta.” Me: “It is called Bachata!”

At the end of the lessons my student: “Can you do me a favor? Show me one more time the basic of Chewbacca!” Me: “That sounds more like Star Wars”.

Before that I heard only Bachacha instead of Bachata. Well, within just 2 days my dance vocabulary expanded a lot: Bachata – Ciabatta – Chikitta – Chewbacca – Bachacha! 🙂
