Bachata
Caminito
Also known as: Little walk, cuddle walk
Both partners walk forward together from a cuddle or shadow hold — a travelling promenade that covers ground while staying wrapped up close.
What This Move Is
A travelling move danced from a shadow or cuddle position where the couple, nested together, simply walks forward across the floor as one. The 'little walk' is a way to travel and breathe while keeping the close, wrapped shape.
Key Points
- Lead: Step off clearly and keep the shared frame steady so the follow can match your walk foot-for-foot.
- Follow: Walk forward with the lead, staying nested into the shadow rather than drifting out of it.
- Timing: Travelling over an 8-count.
- Common mistake: Breaking the cuddle frame as you travel, so the shape falls apart.
Style Notes
A lovely connective travel for a calm phrase; it threads naturally between shadow figures and a clean unwind back to open.
