Bachata is a dance originated from Dominican Republic. It is danced to the music with the same name.
Similar to merengue, in basic step the leader starts stepping in left direction with left foot and makes a bachata "pop" on count 4, changes directions of the steps and makes another pop on count 8. The follower mirrors the steps of the leader.
