Who created bachata?

Bachata rhythm is original from the Dominican Republic. It started in the 60's as a low class music played at the brothels and places where prostitutes hanged around. This is because of the lyrics of the Bachata songs, as they singers sang about bitter love, cheating, etc.

Bachata evolve through time, going through different stages from the 60's-90's. The most important event in Bachata History is when the singer "Juan Luis Guerra" with the 4:40 Band decided to change the lyrics of Bachata from bitter love to "good love" and make the rhythm itself more "user-friendly" to mainstream music. From them on, the popularity of Bachata grew worldwide, and the rest, well... you know how popular it is.

How to do the splits in 4 weeks?

First off- do these stretches everyday

stretch number 1:

sit on a hard flat floor on your bum with your legs together and stretched out in front of you.

Keep your legs straight but don't tense them up too much.

Slowly lean forward, aim to get your nose as close to your toes as possible. Make sure you keep your back flat. Hold this for 30 secs. Relax for 30 secs then repeat.

Stretch number 2:

As before, sit on a hard flat floor, on your bum. Stretch your right leg out in front of you. Put your left foot on the side of your right knee (make sure you your left knee is on the floor) once again, lean forward, aiming to get your nose as close to your toes as possible. Hold for 30 secs. Relax for 30 secs, then repeat on the other leg.

Stretch number 3:

Yet again, sit on a hard, flat floor, on your bum. Open your legs to the side as far as you can. Using your left arm, lean over to the right and touch your toes with your left hand. Hold for 30 secs. Repeat on other side. Next, lean forward, and walk your hands forward as far as you can. Aim to get your belly and torso flat on the floor. To extend this stretch, sit upright, legs forward and together. Then swing your legs open to the side and bring your body through and forward so you land on your belly with your legs behind you (got that? Probably not!)

Stretch number 4:

Try all your splits as far as you can. Hold each one for 30 secs then relax for 30 secs, then repeat.

Does Polka dance have anything to do with Poland?

Yes, it does have a connection to Poland and Polish traditions, especially among Polish-Americans and Polish-Canadians. The origin of the dance however derives from Bohemian dance traditions in what is today the Czech Republic. The dance and its music having originated around 1830. The Czech inspiration for that dance could possibly have originated with Polish folk dances in and around and to the south of the city of Krakow. The word "Polka" being Czech for "Polish girl". The dance made its way to Prague from the Bohemian country side around 1835 and from there to Vienna, Paris, Berlin and Londay by 1845. It arrived in New York the same year and was accepted by all classes including the upper classes who adopted it as a salon dance along with the waltz. Its popularity at this time was also felt in Poland and east into Russia. It became a popular dance among Poles and continued as such into the first half of the 20th century. Rural Polish communities brought it to the larger Polish cities where it was associated with the Polish working class. It was also brought to the U.S. and developed by Polish immigrants and their children in major urban areas from New England, through New York and into Ohio, Chicago, Detroit as well as Polish rural communities in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Two major styles of Polish American polka developed the "Eastern Style" and the "Chicago Style". The dance and the music has played an important roll in Polish American identity. Although Polish immigrants of the past 40 years from Poland have not typically embraced it, its is the 2nd and 3rd generation - who are today older - that continue to dance and enjoy this style of music. Other important American polka styles include German, Slovenian, Czech, Ukrainian (in Canada) and Mexican (Conjunto in Texas). Each with its own style and development in North America.
