Description: Many dances popular
around the world have originated in Latin America, for example the Bolero,
Carimbo, Conga, Cueca, Cumbia, Joropo, Lambada, Macarena, Mambo, Merengue,
Rueda, and the Salsa. Three such dances : the Samba, Rumba, and Cha Cha, plus
the Paso Doble from Europe and the Jive from North America, have been singled
out and are now performed all over the world as Latin-American dances in
international DanceSport competitions, as well as being danced socially. These
dances are for couples, usually each consisting of a man and a lady. The holds
vary from figure to figure in these dances, sometimes in closed ballroom hold,
sometimes with the partners holding each other with only one hand. The figures
in these dances are standardised and categorised into various levels for
teaching, with internationally agreed vocabularies, techniques, rhythms and
tempos. But it was not always so. These 'Latin-American' dances were only been
introduced into Western-European society in the twentieth century, and have some
diverse origins in previous eras.
