Carlos Cinta teaching bachata

Carlos Cinta “El Unico Bachatero”! Carlos has taught at many international festivals and events around the world. His first YouTube video attracted over 7 million hits!

Carlos Cinta was born in San Francisco. He was raised in Chicago and lived there for 26 years. Although Carlos’ first experiences of Bachata were not particularly pleasing, it was only after attending a club in Chicago and seeing Bachata danced with sensuality, passion and sexy moves that he truly fell in love with it.

Inspired by an extremely talented Bachatera, Carlos began to learn Bachata in order to dance with her. Through his observations while social dancing, he noticed that the level and skill of Bachata on the dance floor were limited to the basic step. Owing much to his boredom and creative collaboration with a friend, Carlos decided to make up all kinds of crazy moves and patterns.

Praise for Carlos Cinta’s bachata lessons

With a teaching experience of eight years, Carlos started in the humble surroundings of his grandparents’ basement helping out a couple friends (who loved the moves he was creating) to teaching his turn patterns with a friend in a little family style Mexican restaurant.

When other people started to see what Carlos was doing with the bachata, they crammed into the small dance studio in San Diego for an opportunity to have Carlos teach them his proven dance combos and to get recommendations for great bachata songs.

Since then Carlos has video recorded his best teaching tips and dance lessons into the Bachata Thrillogy instructional DVD and CD series for teaching people how to dance bachata. The Bachata Thrillogy series has 6 DVD that cover the sensual bachata style typically scene in dance clubs and the more traditional Caribbean/Dominican style footwork.

In 2010 Carlos Cinta collaborated with Joan Soriano, the world-renowned bachata artist and guitarist from the Dominican Republic, to create the first-ever bachata musicality and timing CD. The bachata CD takes you behind or into the music so you can understand the music and dance with more feeling and connection to the music. Bachata Breakdown demonstrates bachata instrument by instrument, with spoken beat counting. Dance and musicality instructor Carlos Cinta explains timings to bass, bongos, güira, and full instrumental tracks. Carlos illustrates timing for dancing on 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1 with bass syncopation.
