Bachata Styling to Odio: Learn a Choreography with Filipa Antunes

Want a complete bachata styling routine to work on between classes? Filipa Antunes teaches a choreography to Odio by Romeo Santos at RoleRotation Academy. A set routine gives you the same sequence to return to, so you can notice how your timing and movement change with practice.

What is this class about?

The class introduces a complete styling choreography. Follow the recording to study the routine in sections, then connect those sections when the order becomes familiar. The description identifies the choreography and music; it does not require you to invent a new sequence for each practice session.

How do you learn a routine without getting lost?

Choose one short phrase and identify its first and last positions. Practise that phrase before moving on, then join it to the next one. When two sections are individually familiar but the join feels uncertain, repeat only the end of the first section and the beginning of the second.

Use a simple reminder for the part you are learning: a direction, a recognisable shape or a musical moment you can hear. Check it against the demonstration. A useful reminder should help you recall the movement rather than replace the explanation.

What should you focus on after remembering the steps?

Return to one phrase and choose a single detail to observe. You might compare the timing of an arrival or how clearly you finish a movement before beginning the next. A short recording of your own attempt can help you compare the same section on another day, if you find that useful.

Can styling practice support both dance roles?

You can explore movement choices regardless of the role you practise in partner dancing. When transferring an idea into a shared dance, keep the connection and agreed task clear. Treat a role switch as its own shared learning task rather than an automatic part of this choreography.
