Bachata Dance Cover by Theo & Clara - Lejos - Boracay Island

Sharing with you another Afro-Latin dance video featuringTheo and I at Boracay Island. 😁

Theo is an amazing Bachata, Kizomba, and Semba Teacher. During the Boracay Latin Dance Festival 2023, he taught the dance Semba. It was my first time even knowing this type of dance and so I made sure to join his class. It was so fun and interesting.

Semba (masemba in plural) is a traditional music and dance genre from Angola that became popular in the 50’s. It is the product of an evolution as it was influenced by different ethno linguistic groups from Angola as well as several different African rythms. In the context of dancing, the word Semba means “the body of the man that comes in contact with the body of the woman at the level of the belly button”. Source

Anyways, Theo agreed to shoot this dance video with us. The only available time we had was around noon so it was piercing hot. Good thing, I was hot too. 😆 The white sand and the crystal-clear water were just perfect. There weren't many people at the beach this time too. However, dancing on the sand accompanied by waves made it a little bit of a challenge.

Anyways, I'm not a professional dancer but I love dancing Afro-Latin. I'm also happier with this video as editing was much easier compared to the last one I shared. So hope you love this one too.
