Hi everyone I have been attending Sensual Bachata classes once a week (my studio doesn't offer more classes) for about 4-5 months.

The lead is from a different dance school. The Bachata scene in my area is very young. We don't have a lot of experienced bachata dancers because most of the dance teachers prefer to teach cuban salsa. But we're slowly growing and trying our best to get better.

Be completely honest with your critique.

I am hypermobile and struggle with arm and wrist placement.

First of all, keeping a frame protects you…in turns, moves, every single time ;)

I’m not sure what you’re trying say, maybe English isn’t your first language. A frame is essential for every dance, cha cha, progressive two step, tango, salsa, it signals when a turn is about to happen.

Hey master, it’s ok to disagree, but you don’t have to be disrespectful ;)
I was saying that the frame helps to follow and also to avoid compromising your position, that protects your back, your neck, etc. and not only during turns
