Latin Dances List: 15 Popular Styles, Names & History
Latin dances are rather a large group of dance styles that are united by their place of origin - Latin America and invariably passionate rhythms and performances.
Latin American dances are a type of ballroom and club dances that spread throughout Europe in the 19th century and became very popular. They owe their wide popularity to curiously mixed cultures of the Americas, including European and local folk dances. Thus, the Spanish folk dance, the elements of which were performed by bullfighters during a bullfight, became known throughout the world as a paso doble. Samba was brought to Brazil, and then to Europe, African influence is seen in rumba and cha cha cha which originated in Cuba and Haiti.
LATIN DANCES LIST
The traditional program of Latin Ballroom Dances, adopted by the World DanceSport Federation, since 1930 includes five dances in the Latin American section. These are Samba, Rumba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Paso Doble and Jive (United States origine). All of them are performed in a pair, a man and a woman and, unlike the European dances, the partners during the performance can either separate the contact, or cling to each other very closely.
All Latin American dances are rhythmic and emotional, and some of them are particularly sensual.
The other large group of Latin dances is so-called Social (or ”club” Latina) includes Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Reggaeton, Mambo, Kizomba, Zouk and Argentine tango. It has long been one of the most popular group of mass dance, both in Latin America and in the United States, Europe and Asia. Salsa and bachata, merengue and mambo - these dances do not require perfected skill, it is more important to reveal them completely, turning movements into meaningful love and passionate stories. For many years, the cult for all Latin dancers is the movie “Dirty Dancing” with Patrick Swayze, where the most popular amateur dances are shown in all its glory.
Here is a List of Social Latin American dances:
Salsa
Salsa dancing initially developed into a particular style in the 1940s and comes from a tradition of Latin dance styles that dates back to the early 1900s. It is heavily influenced by Afro-Cuban traditions and dance styles such as mambo, guaguanco and danzon.
The brief history of salsa dance is that people moved to new locations and assimilated into new cultures, where salsa evolved into fresh styles. There are several different salsa styles influenced by cultures of the cities they originated. For instance, most famous in North America in United States are New York Salsa (also known as dancing 'On 2') and Los Angeles Salsa (known as dancing 'On 1'). Many dance aficionados actually claim that New York Style salsa is the original style of salsa, as the term and the dance were coined in the Big Apple. Other styles include Cuban salsa, Cumbia, Rueda de Casino (read more on salsa dance types here). Besides New York and Los Angeles in USA, major cities around the world where salsa is most popular are: Toronto Salsa and Vancouver Salsa in Canada and in United Kingdom: London Salsa. There are numerous Salsa Festivals around the world that attract thousand of Salseros every year as well as Salsa Congress which is a multi-day dance festival featuring workshops, social dancing, performances and competitions focusing on Salsa dancing.
Bachata
Bachata dance is known for its love stories, and its syncopated rhythm. The dance actually was born of the music in the Dominican Republic during the 1960’s. Unfortunately, a dictatorship that found Bachata to be an art form of low standing held the music and the dance back for decades. The music was first developed with a heavy guitar emphasis and heartrending love stories as its basis. However, it grew primarily within bars and brothels, and this led to Bachata being held back for literally decades. Although the Bachata dance itself is a spinoff of the music, in recent years the music has grown more slowly than the dance. Bachata dance continues to grow and thrive all over the world, and has finally reached a place where it is widely accepted.
Merengue
The Merengue is a couple dance that has roots in the Dominican Republic.
There are many theories of how precisely it became the dance that it is today. It is certain, however, that Dictator Rafael Trujillo deemed it the Dominican official dance and musical style after his rise to power in the 1930’s. A similar style is enjoyed in neighboring Haiti. The Merengue is one of the recognized Latin dance that has evolved over the years and widely enjoyed in many parts of the world.
Mambo
Mambo is a Latin dance of Cuba which was developed in the 1940s when the music genre of the same name became popular throughout Latin America. The word mambo comes from the name of the god of war. In immemorial times, the Cubans dedicated a ritual dance to him, with the aim of deserving location and ensuring patronage. The mambo dance has much in common with rumba and cha-cha (at first, the famous cha-cha-cha was even called syncopated mambo), but it has a great temperament, freedom in expressing feelings and emotions, luxurious music.
Incendiary rhythms of mambo are widely used in cinema. This dance is both a means of seduction and a way to express your feelings. Among the most famous films in which dance is used is the film “Mambo” with starring Antonio Banderas and Arman Assante and the more modern film Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Suezi.
Kizomba
Kizomba is a new direction of latin dance culture that originated in Angola in the 1980s under the influence of French Creole music and African folk rhythms. And in Europe, it has spread widely in the twenty-first century. Kizomba has similar features with samba, bachata and Argentine tango, but this style is smoother, moderate and calm. Energy of Kizomba is more sensual and romantic, not expressive but rather flirtatious. Nowadays, Kizomba is winning the hearts and minds of modern youth. Everyone wants to learn how to dance Kizomba, everyone wants to shine at parties, to be fashionable and modern.
There are numerous Latin Festivals around the world that include Kizomba as one of their featured dances.
Zouk
In the late 20th century, dramatized concert performances with bright costumes and lively ethnic music were popular in Haiti, Martinique and the Cape Verde Islands. This is how the Zouk dance style emerged, combining the intonation of authentic Haitian music, the calypso style, the sound of “black” Angolan music. “Zouk” in French Creole means “party” or “festival.” Dancing evenings with live music have won wild popularity not only on the islands. France, Canada, Brazil and the countries of Asia and latey United States have not resisted the pressure of the sensual rhythm.
Zuk dance is a social dance that is performed on three counts and is saturated with beautiful curves of the upper part of the body and deflections, and the steps and turns are complemented by circular rotations, wave-like movements and turns of the head.
This style of dance is much more sensual than others, its turns and “falls” are spectacular, so the flexibility of the partner is of particular importance. Acrobatics are allowed. There are many Latin Festival events around the world that include Zouk dance as an essential part of their program.
Reggaeton
Reggaeton is a musical style that originated in Puerto Rico and Panama in 1970-1980. It was born under the influence of such directions as reggae, dancehall, hip-hop and very quickly became popular in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. And how a separate style was highlighted in the 1990s, spreading its popularity to the USA, where immigrants brought it. A characteristic feature of this musical direction is overt and even somewhat aggressive sexuality, a clear reggae rhythm and a recipe in Spanish. Nando Boom and El General are considered to be the fathers of this musical direction.
Argentine tango
Tango is a very sensual dance, and is among some of the most famous couple dances today. Prior to the birth of Tango, which happened in the poorer sections of Buenos Aires in the early 1900’s, there were only a few dances that required that a couple become so intimate as to face each other. The history of Argentine Tango is a little muddled, as it began in the lower classes, and it has faced many trials over the years. However, Tango has survived and grown into a dance that is enjoyed worldwide. Around 1911, Tango made the trip overseas and became a sensation in Paris, London and Berlin. 1913 saw it strike New York City in full force, although less authentic Tango dancing was already practiced there to some extent.
Tango scenes have been featured in many tango films.
Tango scenes have been featured in many tango films. Today we see many thriving tango communities around the world, with the biggest one in Buenos Aires (Argentina), in USA: New York tango and Seattle tango are among the largest, in Europe: Berlin and more. You can catch the best tango performances at many Milongas (social tango dancing). There are as well many Tango Festivals around the world that attract thousand of Tangueros and fans.
Bomba
Bomba is one of the traditional dances and musical styles of Puerto Rico, which arose at the intersection of African and Spanish cultures and the Indian culture of native Taino. Bomba got its name from the drums made out of rum barrels. The base rhythm of Bomba is performed on two or more drums. The meaning of bomba is similar to the meaning of Cuban rumba - it is a competition between a singer, a dancer and a percussionist.
The main trait of Bomba is that the musicians in it follow the dancer (and not vice versa).
The vocal part consists of the recitals of the soloist and choir (at least three voices). In this case, the soloist will improvise poetry, and the chorus will respond to him.The dance is still extremely popular in Puerto Rico and New York.
Plena
Puerto rican style of music and dance, used as a means of social and political expression. This traditional dance uses a panderet (tambourine), has a 4/4 pace and does not follow the clave. Plena was created 100 years ago in the working class barrios of Ponce, Plena's roots could be traced back into the changes in society brought on by Puerto Rico's move from Spanish into U.S. rule. Plena was born of African American roots and has been changed to a distinctively Puerto Rican dance style from the consequences of Jíbaro, indigenous Taino, and European musical traditions, along with the contribution of freed slaves out of English-speaking Caribbean Islands who travelled to Puerto Rico.
Plena primarily existed within folklore nevertheless, in the 1990s Plena has been given new life due to musical bands from Puerto Rico and New York who updated its sound to be fresh and modern. Whether folklore or contemporary audio, it is the panderos -- three or more handheld drums of distinct sizes/pitches (seguidor, segundo, and requinto), along with also the guiro -- a gourd percussion tool of native Taino source -- which collectively create the unique rhythm of Plena.
Here is a list of Latin Dances included in the program of Ballroom dancing (International Latin):
Samba
Samba is a dance rich in history, and one that is known for the joy it expresses. The traditional Brazilian Samba is a national favorite each year at Rio’s Carnival Celebration. Both men and women, each known as a Sambista, present the rhythmic celebratory dance throughout the city during the festivities. The Ballroom Samba varies greatly from many of the styles, but does maintain some of the Brazilian Samba characteristics.
Ballroom Samba is recognized as one of five International Style of Latin Dancing partner dances. The Samba as seen today developed in Rio near the close of the 19th century. In 1917, Samba was beginning to be viewed as a dance style in its own right. The year of 1930 saw it become an accepted form of ballroom dance -- Ballroom Samba has made a lasting impact on partner dancing throughout the world.
Rumba
Rumba, one of the five international Latin dances, is a sultry story in motion. This particular Latin dance is widely acknowledged as the most sensuous. Rumba has humble beginnings. As with many others, at least some of Rumba’s roots can be traced back to African tribal dances. However, it is in the nation of Cuba where it became the Rumba that is still so popular today. It is commonly referred to as the grandfather of Latin dance. Rumba hit the United States during the 1920’s, and laid the groundwork for all Latin dances thereafter.
Cha-Cha-Cha
Originally known as Cha-Cha-Cha, the name of this flirtatious and upbeat partner dance has been shortened a little over the years to simply Cha-Cha. This particular dance style was developed originally in Cuba, and then picked up by dancers visiting Havana from all over the world. The dance's fun, flamboyant and quick nature made it appealing then, and certainly adds to its appeal now. The more authentic Cuban style is very sensual, somewhat teasing and a bit contagious. Not only is the Cha-Cha still danced across the globe and is one of the International Style of Latin Dancing partner dances, the musical genre can be heard sung by incredibly popular musical artists even today.
Paso Doble
Paso Doble (Spanish for “two steps”) is a Spanish dance imitating a bullfight.
Paso doble was one of the many Spanish folk dances associated with various aspects of Spanish life. The partner represents the torero, and the partner - his cloak (muleta), sometimes - the second torero, and very rarely - the bull, as a rule, defeated by the final blow. The nature of the music corresponds to the procession in front of the bullfight. The dance was first performed in France in 1920, became popular in Parisian high society in the 1930s, therefore many steps and figures have French names. After the Second World War, Paso Doble was included in the Latin-American program of sports ballroom dancing.
Jive
Jive is a dance of African American origin that appeared in the USA in the early 1940s. Jive is a type of swing with fast and free movements. Modern jive is very different from swing in style, although it often uses the same shapes and movements. Jive dance is performed at ballroom dancing competitions.
Of the five dances of the Latin American program, the jive is always the last and is the apotheosis of the competitive program. This dance is very fast and sparkling. Thus, it allows couples not only to demonstrate technical skills, but also to show their physical fitness.
There is also East Coast Swing that we plan to cover later. Stay tuned!
Dances of Mexico
The developed culture of the indigenous peoples of Mexico has contributed to the fact that in dances throughout the country one can find distinctive regional signs of ancient Indian traditions. African slavery played a much smaller role in the development of dance in Mexico than in the Caribbean.
One of the most difficult dance events in Mexico was associated with the respect of the country's patron saint, Our Lady of Guadalupe. This holiday is celebrated on December 12th. Every year, thousands of native Mexicans dance in her honor in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
Particularly notable for such performers are the Chichimec dancers called concheros. Some of them play an instrument similar to a guitar, which is made from the shell of an armadillo, while dancing.
Thousands of religious dance groups throughout Mexico regularly perform dance performances during Catholic holidays and holidays. Their elaborate, time-consuming costumes are adorned with rhinestones, feathers, shells, ribbons and embroidery.
Mexican dance Jarabe Tapatio
The Jarabe Tapatio, Mexico's national dance (also called Jarabe Nacional), originated in the early 20th century as a form of self-expression and cultural identity among the mestizo population of Mexico. The musical ensemble that accompanies this dance is called the mariachi and, in fact, is also one of the well-known symbols of Mexico. (From 1930 years, a typical mariachi ensemble consisted of two trumpets, three or more violins, several instruments from the guitar family, and sometimes a harp).
This Mexican popular pastime reflects a romanticized past and rural lifestyle. The roots of both the Jarabe Tapatio and the mariachi can be traced back to the Jalisco people who live near Guadalajara. The image of a Jalisco woman in a long, flowery skirt has become a trademark of Mexican dance. Now around the world, Jarabe Tapatio has become known as the "Mexican Hat Dance".
Mexican dances Ballet Folklorico
To appreciate all the richness and diversity of the cultural traditions of Mexico, which were formed as a result of the fusion of the country's indigenous heritage and Spanish influences, it is worth at least once to see Mexican folk dances. The inhabitants of this country, thanks to the folklore ensemble "Ballet Folklorico", are used to having the opportunity to see the beauty of ancient dances even today. Also in the country, the traditions of folk dances are transmitted literally from generation to generation.
In 1952, the young dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández founded the Ballet Folklórico de México in Mexico City, a folklore ballet company that was clearly influenced by the grandiose Ballets Russes.
Ballet Folklórico de México productions featured elaborate costumes, sets, and lighting. Like American dancer Katherine Dunham, who created Caribbean dance in 1930, Hernandez created a hybrid form of dance performance that combined indigenous Mexican mestizo dances with modern dance techniques. The precedent for this style of dance was actually set by other national dance ensembles, such as the Russian Moiseev Troupe (created in 1937 Moiseev Igor Alexandrovich). A similar process was also taking place in the Philippines at that time, thanks to the Philippine Bayanihan company (established in 1957).
The transformation of traditional dance into a semi-modern style contributed to the preservation of Mexican traditions. The popularity of the mixed genre became apparent when, in 1962, the Ballet Folklórico won an international national folk dance competition. Amalia Hernandez's artistic principles began to be copied by hundreds of folklore troupes in Mexico, other parts of Latin America and the United States.
Mexicans have adopted social dances from various countries for centuries, reworking them to suit their style. Historically, skilled Mexican musicians have regularly incorporated new musical trends into their repertoire, whether it be Cuban Perez Prado's mambo or Carlos Santana's rock. However, they also invent a lot of new things. For example, "gang" is considered a strictly Mexican genre. The band's music is a synthesis of traditional dance rhythms (polka, cumbia, son and waltz) that have been creatively transformed using electronic recording technology. Dancing to these melodies has a hyperactive style.

Latin American Salsa dance, history of origin and distribution
Salsa is a dance of passion and freedom, it takes its origins from the Cuban son, which was popular in the 1930s.
Many people probably know that salsa means "sauce" in Spanish. Where did such a strange name come from? There are several versions of this. The most famous tells that the famous American musician Tito Puente, looking at a completely new dance that combines seemingly familiar movements of various directions, exclaimed: "That's the sauce!" .
Born in Cuba, the dance was spread, first of all, in Latin America, and later conquered North America and the whole world. Initially, salsa music is a combination of Spanish strings and African instruments , later the countries conquered by the dance of the same name introduced their own directions into its sound - jazz, rock, swing in the USA, tango and samba from South American countries. Such changes made certain adjustments to the movements and style of dance.
Salsa lessons are not so much about learning a particular type of dance, but about striving for self-improvement. Salsa is not a ballroom dance, so you can start practicing it at any age and with any physical fitness, even if the student has no sense of rhythm at all - a couple of weeks of training will fix everything.
During study, grace and plasticity of movements are acquired.
Do not forget that this Latin dance is also a dance of two - incendiary rhythms help to learn to feel a partner, to guess all his movements in advance, and classes in a group contribute, on the one hand, to improvisation, on the other hand, to work in a team.
Since salsa has become quite widespread in the world, different areas began to appear in different regions. Her styles can be divided into two main types: circular , in which there is a constant change of partners, and linear . The first group includes more traditional directions - casino salsa, Venezuelan (Dominican), Colombian, and the second - those that have acquired the features of individual regions (Los Angeles, New York, Puerto Rico). Salsa is danced in four counts, with only three steps taken, and the fourth count is used to pause or transfer weight.
In Russia, salsa gained popularity only by the mid-90s, mainly due to the spontaneous opening of Cuban dance courses.
