Somebody had to say it. Stop making a distinction between Dominican #bachata and other forms of bachata. Bachata IS #Dominican 🇩🇴

@melanymovez: “MAKE BACHATA DOMINICAN AGAIN!!! 🇩🇴

CAUSE THIS IS NOT BACHATA!!

Nothing against these dancers because how they moved was absolutely beautiful. And they also are not aware of their participation of the white washing of our culture.”
“But I watched that video and I saw a fusion of about 4 or 5 different styles of Latin partnering with a Bachata basic here and there.

Can we vote on calling this something different?

Because Bachata is a cultural style that belongs to a people. DOMINICAN PEOPLE.”

We celebrate that dance is a place where people of different backgrounds can come together around a common love for self expression through movement. But we are watching our dance communities crumble under the divisive ideology of critical theory/identity politics.
There are still racial injustices in the world. We believe that the best way to fight them is to work together as a community and as equals, regardless of skin color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
We see the racism happening in the classic sense, but we also see the racism happening within woke ideology and we are standing apart from it.
