Marejada
- bachata

- 99–145 BPM

A closed-frame texture: a continuous, unbroken lateral weight-trade where the couple's shared center of mass arcs like a slow swell instead of stepping flat side to side. From close embrace the lead sinks into his left knee on 1-2-3 and lets his sternum incline the follow's torso over her left foot so both spines tilt as ONE line; the swell rolls back through center and crests right on 5-6-7, with a tiny suspended hold — the foam at the top of the wave — on 4 and 8. The feet barely travel; the motion is a knee-driven center-of-mass pendulum and the follow rests INTO the lean on a balanced shared axis.

Lead and follow cues
Lead
English
On {{count}} sink into your knee and let your sternum incline {{partner}} over her foot as one line — your back-hand only confirms the lean, never pushes; suspend at each crest.
Español
En el {{count}} hunde la rodilla y deja que tu esternón incline a {{partner}} sobre su pie como una sola línea — tu mano de espalda solo confirma la inclinación, nunca empuja; suspende en cada cresta.
Follow
English
Yield your ribcage to the lead's sternum and let your head trail last as the heaviest part of the swell; keep your feet underneath you and rest into the lean — sway, don't step out.
Español
Cede tu caja torácica al esternón del guía y deja que la cabeza llegue al final, como la parte más pesada de la marejada; mantén los pies debajo de ti y descansa sobre la inclinación — balancéate, no salgas con un paso.
