- Have you ever heard me talk about studying a bachata song, and wondered how to do it? This video is for you! In this video, I have taken the song Privado by Chris Paradise, and broken it down, section by section, demonstrating how I would learn the song, identifying different parts of the music, and giving you inspiration about what you could do during each section in your dancing.

Can you show us in action how you work out the actual steps?
As someone who speaks English as a second language you do a fantastic job in your tutorials. Thank you for making the experience of learning to dance easier ♥
Where you from ?
Yes I think its a great idea to make you see it in action as well 😇
@@DanceWithRasa Opps, I didn't mean I spoke a second language rather I appreciated how well spoken you were. I'm from America but I grew up with people from Russia and Central Europe. Your accent is warm and familiar.
Where are you from?
@@carasnow8441 🤣🤣🤣 I'm from Lithuania, yes very much Eastern European 😊. But I lived in UK for many years now so English is like my first language, but accent doesn't dissappear 😁
Thank you
You're welcome ☺️

Thank you Rasa
Welcome 😇
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your super thanks. I really appreciate it 🙏
Great summary - it is such a great moment when you realise that
the song just starting is one you know well. It makes life a lot easier and much more enjoyable too :D
Oh definitely, that's always a good feeling 🤣. Completely different feeling when you listening to a song and thinking, what is this madness 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have explained it really well. Thank you very much :)
I try to explain in a different angle 😇
Awesome content !
Thank you 😊
Great video😍😍
🤩🤩🤩
your a gem! and your voice is beautiful! ;)
Well not sure about the voice but thank you so much 💜
Good tips!
🤗🤗🤗
Top !!!
🤩🤩🤩
Just realized, as an intermediate dancer how useful this video is. Might be an idea to do more of these video and also show the moves you would do with a partner 😊
Thats a great idea, I'll make sure to do that 😀
I like how you emphasize the importance of being able to hear the 1 and the 5 in the music. I think it would help if you used some kind of a hand gesture to point out the 1 in the music clips while you're explaining. Also, could you dance a little to demonstrate your explanations?
Yes great idea about hand gesture, and I will definitely do a demonstration 😊
Dog's bollocks? Lol, love it! Great video, I'm ready for this now, so far I was lucky if I was doing something while dancing. Now it's time to choose what I can do. Please can you do more videos on this, this is a total weak point for me, or even a video where you dance different styles as the song changes? ❤
Definitely, I'm planning to do one soon 😉.
Me: listening to songs 1000x times in an attempt to to memorize and catch accents.
My Brazilian dance partner: hm, a new song for me, CATCHES ALL THE ACCENTS.
whyyyy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats what my boyfriend feels all the time as well 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe some music training helps? Like any of your favourite instruments you can play even just like hitting the triangle? And play it along your favourite song.
Actually singing them also helps :) and get you in the mood of the music
It's very much of a feeling.
@@xoxcxsxm that's true, even something so simple as clapping to the beats really helps 😇.
❤❤❤
🤗🤗🤗
Definitely do a salsa video because the musicality is more complicated!
Coming up soon 😉.
Great and funny ☺️🥰👍👍 nice song
Thank you 😇
Great explanation... I been dancing bachata for last 10 months and one thing I want to improve is identifying the difference between 1 and 5 in the music. ❤ I am listening to the music alot these days but could you please share the best option to find it ?
In simple terms, one is the beginning. Beginning of the sentence. It's where the voice or the instruments are high. If in doubt wait till a singer stops singing and starts again so to know where is the beginning of your sentence. Then follow the base 😉
Rasa Thank you. I am a beginner to bachata. My instructor all the time says I should dance to the beat. How can identify the beat and dance for the 8 counts. I would very much appreciate if you could help me on this.
@santhiyag1650 I'll make more musicality videos very soon for you 💓
This was amazing! Could you dance while explaining next time?
Yes , I'll try to do it 🥰
Rasa, “pri” is on beat 4 “vado” is beat on 1 not “privado” on 1, the emphasis is on “vado” the “ah” vowel, the distinction is important. If we refer to the music sheet of the song we will see this.
Thank you for being so precise, that's why these comments are so important 😉
Is the chorus majao and the body where the voice of the artist was elongating is derrecho?
8:45 , this usually happens after 4 bars of 8 count right? As an extra half bar of 4 counts. I use the bongo to count 1 to 8 while dancing
A lot of the times that's the case yes, I'm not a fan of counting, in the beginning to understand music it's a good idea, but later I would prefer people picking up the signs in the music to tell them things, training your ear as you train your muscles 💪
@@DanceWithRasa How do you dance on time without counting? Especially figuring out the 1 and 5 🤔 .
@@leprechaun130 1 is usually in the beginning of the sentence or instrumental intonation, 5 is at the second part of the sentence, makes me listen to the intonation of the music , but I do not count.
Dear Rasa,
A great explanation🎉. Thank you soo much!
could you please write a spotify link to bachata and salsa songs, which appear offen in parties, or which makes sence to analyse at the beginning?
I would love to get understanding to a salsa song🤩
If you want some music , there is a some songs added on my bachata CZcams playlist, check that out 😉.
Only now that you sang have you shown that you really care haha 😂
Jk! Thanks for the music analysis, it’s fun to think about the different parts of a song. It also would be great to hear what you do with a salsa song. PS you don’t even sing terribly 😋
You are too kind 🤣🤣🤣🤣 salsa song coming up soon 😇
Mellow or melo? I'm assuming you mean 'melo' for melody? Correct me if not please, thank you
Mellow, meaning the feel of the intro is smooth, soft and the song hasn’t kicked in yet
I thought breaks are additional 4 or even 8 bits of music and we start from 1 after that break not 5? Can you please clarify it for me? Thank you.
The breaks sometimes happen in that matter, but sometimes the breaks happen longer, and musicality we would need to start on 5. Or wait and start on 1. Not every break is the same length. Does that make sense ?
Thank you @@DanceWithRasa . I my be wrong but I thought bachata is played in 4 sections of 8th bits (4x8bits) and break is an additional 4 bits after the 4th section. In other words break to me was additional 4 bits as we start again from 1 after that. But that was my understanding and I want to learn if that is correct or not. Yes I know sometimes break can be 8 bits so in this case we definitely start from 1.
@iroau you are absolutely right for the majority of songs. But dome romeo santos songs for example or Dominican bachata changes timing in the middle interrupting regular format. That's why important to pay attention.
@@DanceWithRasa That is why.. exceptions.. This is why it is hard to see it happens if I don't know the song. Great video by the way. Thank you for sharing.
@iroau ofcourse ill make a video of some songs with exceptions. Maybe that can help 😉.
Please also listen to authentic bachata. Songs like the one played in this video is nice, but all of those types of songs are produced with a lot of digitization. That means that you lose many of the rhythmic, syncopations and authentic expressions that authentic Bachata is made out of. Therefore, it forces the listener to hang on tightly to the lyrics. And the dancer is compelled to dance lyrically, which is not a Dominican trait, culturally, but rather in European cultural trait in dance. Bachata at its core is about the rhythm. Compare the guitar solo in an authentic bachata to the song played in this video. You will notice much is lost from la guitarra que llora. Modern bachata without real bachata guitar unfortunately murders the bachatero.
I agree completely. I just had to choose smth it wouldn't demotisize the video. I will find one for authentic songs, too 😉.
