Has anyone dealt with lower back pain from Bachata? Looking for prevention & recovery tips

Help Request

Hey everyone,
A few days ago I started having pain in my lower back after a Bachata social. I probably made it worse by also dancing the following day. The pain is mostly in the lower back, especially when I bend backwards. It doesn't radiate into my legs, and I don't have any numbness or weakness, so I'm hoping it's just an overuse injury.
I'm taking a few days off from dancing, but I'd love to hear from others who have experienced something similar.

Have you ever had lower back pain from Bachata?
What helped you recover the fastest?
Are there any mobility, strengthening, or stretching exercises you do at home that helped?
Do you have any tips to prevent this from happening again (warm-up routines, core exercises, technique changes, etc.)?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences ^^
