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.
Offering an outlet for rhythmic expression and flowing, sensual movements, Latin dance incorporates a number of spicy
styles, including rumba, samba, merengue and even bolero. Latin dance is typically a partner activity but can also
feature groups of couples dancing together and regularly changing partners.
