SEATTLE — Dance instructor Vassili William of Seattle's Salsa Con Todo introduces us to Bachata, a style of social partner dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. Compared to Salsa, Bachata is a slower dance, with more intimacy and presentation.
Vassili and dancers from Salsa Con Todo demonstrate the dance and talk to us about the rising popularity of Bachata.
