Bachata or a simple sway
Bachata's four-count step sits naturally on most slow songs. If bachata still feels like too much, a sway with a weight shift on each beat works just as well.
Add one turn
Place a single slow turn where the song builds, usually the first chorus. It breaks up the sway and gives your photographer a shot.
Why not salsa
Salsa needs a quicker beat. On a slow song its steps either look hurried or have to be stretched until they lose their shape.
Questions people ask
Can we still dip on a slow song?
Yes. A slow dip on the last note suits a ballad well.
