Bachata Level 2 in Chicago

More turns

You add left turns, turn combinations and hand changes, all built on the basic you already know.

Musicality

Level 2 teaches you to hear changes in the song, like breaks and guitar runs, and to match your dancing to them instead of stepping the same way the whole time.

Do not skip Level 1

Level 2 moves faster and assumes your timing is already solid. Jumping in early usually means feeling lost. Finish Level 1 first, even if you have danced other styles.
