Bachazouk. Is It Still Bachata?

In this video I talk about bachazouk trend which is becoming incredibly popular on the dance scene these days. This fusion style blends together bachata and zouk and develops its own unique character. Bachazouk is trending,worldwide as numerous dance couples collaborate and develop their own form of the dance. I briefly talk about bachazouk beginnings - zoukchata and its formal proclamation as a new dance fusion in 2022 by Chesco Leveratto. I speask about its founders - Carlos and Paz and its core values an principles. In the video I always discuss the reaons for this enormous popularity of bachazouk, but also its darker side - the objections tha some people have against it. In the video I use snippets of dance videos of: Carlos at Paz demo dance at Malmo Bachazouk Festival 2025 Rafael and Giovana at Unico Bachata Festival in Warsaw 2025 Adriana Drozdowicz I Łukasz Slaniewski ( Zouk Your Bachata Workshop in Warsaw 2025) Bachazouk Workshop by Piotr Kuniewski and Anna Czubak in Abra Studio in Warsaw, 2025) -Karolina Kamińska and Pawel Dyjach - Bachazouk Workshop in Abra Studio 2025 I used the information from the website: www.bachazouk.com I also included some commentaries from dance forums.
