Can you explain what the dance styles mean?

↓

‍
Dominican Bachata
‍
This is the closest style to the traditional style that originated in the Dominican Republic. It is quite fast and involves fast footwork and turns, alternating between open and closed positions with each partner using freestyle movements that can be different or echo each others movements. The transition of weight between from each foot means that the attention is on the hips (especially for the ladies!)

Bachata moderna
This is the most danced Bachatastyle in the world and has the closest style to Salsa with a lot of turnpattern, cross body leads, arms leading & following.

Bachata sensual
This dance style includes a lot of body waves, isolations combined with Salsa turn pattern, cross leads etc. Bachata sensual is a combination of Zouk and Salsa. The bodies of dancers tend to close together, by waves, body isolations contact of hips and arms. The figures in this style are focused in emphasize the moves of the body. It’s a roleplay dance: the leader (a man) lead the body of the follower (awoman) to feel and to interpret the music. These days, Bachata has more upbeatsand the music has also electronic sounds. This dance style is much dance dusing the remix Bachata music such as DJ TronkyMind that, in this kind of Bachata dance, there is an importance of the basic 8-count steps.

Kizomba
Kizomba is known as African Tango and is originally from Angola. The style of Kizomba is now emphasizes a very smooth way of dancing with influences of Tango steps, but one of the main differences is that the lower body, the hip, does forward/backwards and circle movements. People dance on the tempo, as well as playing on the off beat andonly sometimes using syncopation steps.
‍
Urban Kizz
Urban Kizz is a partner dance style derived from Kizomba. It evolved through influences from GhettoZouk and remixes incorporating R&B, Rap, Dance and Hip Hop. By combining elements from different dance styles and creating new movements, dancers can adapt and improvise their movements to a wide range of music and influences.Enah Lebon, Moun and Curtis Seldon are widely recognized as pioneers of Urban Kizz.

Tarraxo
It could be called the Kizomba underground dance. Tarraxo doesn’t always require stepping or footwork and shouldn’t be interrupted by sharp beats or changes in the music. Instead, thereis an added focus on body control and timely sensual hip movements in a close embrace. Tarraxo is about controlling the more subtle energy inside our bodies compared to doing obvious movements with the physical body.
