What are your experiences of learning bachata and salsa at the same time?
Post Body

Over the last 6 months or so I've been learning bachata, and I've been loving it. But I also learned salsa for a very short time years ago, and really enjoyed that as well. When I decided to take up bachata, I decided to focus on that because I was a bit worried about mixing things up between the dances, particularly the footwork. But today, after our lesson, they did a short social where they played both bachata and salsa music, and I noticed a lot of people staying on the floor to do both and was thinking I might take up salsa as well. The place I go to does a salsa lesson first, followed by bachata, so I wouldnt have to find a new dance group or anything. I was just wondering what people's experiences are of learning both. Do you ever get them mixed up, or are the separate enough that it doesn't happen? Or does it potentially have a positive effect and make you a better dancer because you have to think more carefully about things? Any comments about this at all would be very helpful. Thanks!

Yeah that's exactly why I want to learn - it felt rubbish having to sit down when the salsa songs came on 😔

Thanks for that. With bachata I moved up from beginners to improvers about a month ago and I alsp know the basic salsa step so hopefully id be ok. And I think I'd be able to tell the difference between the songs. Like tonight I did a bachata dance then the next song came on and I knew it wasn't a bachata one and had to sit down 😪
