Recently, I was caught up in the middle of a discussion between a Dominican teacher/performer and some other international Bachata and Salsa dance masters. We were discussing the reasons why many instructors from the Dominican Republic do not advance in the growing Bachata dance industry. Instructor “Ramon” said, “I don't care which Bachata style they're teaching, as long as they can dance Dominican Style!”.
Dominican born Bachata and Salsa Dance instructor “Abel” was explaining to us why he stopped with teaching Bachata.

Everything's bad when it becomes too difficult for them. I wish Dominicans would change their mentality, because they're allowing foreigners to earn a lot of the money they themselves should be putting in their pockets,”
Instructor “Ramon” something to say asthe teachers have been changed to protect the innocent. Any similarities with Bachata instructors having the names as the ones mentioned in this article is purely coincidental.
In the following video clip Jorge Elizondo - who revolutionized Bachata with his Bachata Fusion - is dancing Freestyle Bachata at the end of his workshop together with Camille Yannantuono.
