Sexism in Bachata Sensual | With Jorge & Lou

Sexism in Bachata Sensual | With Jorge & Lou

Author: Kevin y Nika December 6, 2020 Duration: 1:01:49
Showing emotions and affection is part of our dance. But there is a fine line between being authentic and overdoing it. A fine line that if crossed can make a dance look sexualised and vulgar. In this episode we talk about: The role of hyper sexualised dance videos on social media, where the limits are & what responsibility teachers have and selling out for likes. We are joined by Jorge & Lou who have recently caused a viral discussion on instagram about the topic of sexism in dance.

Step behind the music and into the conversations that shape the global Bachata scene with Backstage-The Bachata Podcast. Hosted by Kevin y Nika, who took over from the original hosts Lucie and Yann, this series is built for dancers, musicians, and enthusiasts who feel the rhythm beyond the dance floor. Each episode pulls back the curtain, offering a microphone to the artists who create the songs, the teachers who break down the movements, and the organizers who build the events that bring us all together. You’ll hear personal stories, technical insights, and honest discussions about the challenges and joys within the community. This isn't just about steps; it's about the people and the passion that fuel Bachata's evolution. By tuning in, you join a deeper dialogue that connects social dancers everywhere. The podcast thrives on these varied perspectives, ensuring every conversation adds a new layer to your understanding and appreciation of the art form.
