Because if you’re not having FUN, then what are you doing! 🥹😆🫂If you weren’t at last night’s Like Butter, you definitely missed out 💔 (don’t worry, we’ll see you in August ;) )The focus of last night’s class was how can we curate connection, lean into improvisation, and simulate that oh so buttery social dance feeling — all while ONLY using our basics and NO turns? 😗🤭 We’ll post more about the class content soon (🤭), but I just looOoooved everything about this part of the demo — we were so locked in, being so playful, having sm fun, and being grounded AF okay! 🗣️😭🤌🏽✨What makes your “favorite social dances” your favorite social dances? Is it musicality? keeping it simple? The magic in the connection? Let us know in the comments 🥰💭⬇️#bachata #traditionalbachata #fyp #nyc #dance by @_cdonnie

Straight to heart vibes ❤️‍🔥 Every time I dance with Chris, we always prioritize connection, playfulness, and being present — how are we staying grounded and connected to our basic? what is the music telling us? and how am i interpreting it/making conversation with my partner? 💭This was the exact focus of our last workshop at Dame Tu Pasito — how can we really strip it back and solely focus on our basics? How can we create magic without overdoing it? + our cadera action of course 🥰🤭If you’re looking to improve your basics and connection to the music and your partner, LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Pull up on us TOMORROW, WED. JULY 22ND from 8:00-9:30PM at Pearl Studios ♥️ We’re going to be doing partnerwork with a specific focus on preserving connection and playfulness without doing any turns — yes, NO turns 🤭See you there? 🤭#bachata #bachatatradicional #dance #fyp #nyc by @_cdonnie
