First of all, I would like to say that everyone has different personal borders. What may seem OK to me, may not feel OK for you, or the other way around. We are distinct individuals, but yet we need to find an agreement on our social behavior in the dance floor.
Why did I start to address the topic of sexism in Bachata about a year ago?
You know how we were all doomed to sit at home during lockdown? It gave me the time to think more deeply about sexism and how it shows itself in Bachata. Since I am a psychology student, I always try to look for the why in our behavior and how we could change it. I felt the need to say something out loud, because I couldn’t find any bigger public discourse about it on social media. That made me wonder: if it happens almost everywhere, how come people don’t talk about it?
