origin

The origin of Latin dance can be traced back to a very complicated way. Each of its dances originated from different countries with different backgrounds, histories and development processes, but most of them originated from the United States, and they are the fusion of three cultures.

As early as the16th century, European conquerors imported a large number of African blacks to the American continent in order to obtain enough labor. From 17 to 18 century, cultures from these three continents gradually merged in the American continent. Dance, as the main form of entertainment for the middle and lower classes, naturally fully embodies this cultural fusion, and with the influx of European court dance elements, these folk dances have been further standardized, evolved and improved.

After World War II, Americans spread these dances all over the world, especially in Europe. Subsequently, Europeans standardized and processed these folk dances, and finally included Latin dance in the world competition in 1960, and divided it into five types: rumba, samba, cha-cha, bullfighting and cowboy, and made unified regulations on its dance steps and beats.

After World War II, the British Dance Association once again put the collection, arrangement and processing of ballroom dancing at the top of its work. Around 1950, the British Dance Association established the role theory of ballroom dancing such as fast waltz, cha-cha, rumba, swing dance, samba and bullfighting on the basis of foxtrot, tango and quickstep. Around 1955, the number of 10 kinds of social dances was established and has been used ever since. In addition, the above 10 folk dances can be divided into two types: "modern dance" (waltz, tango, quickstep, foxtrot and Viennese waltz) and "Latin dance" (rumba, cha-cha, swing dance, samba and bullfighting dance). Thus, 1 set theory, two kinds of dance systems and 10 kinds of dances were formed.

Cuba is the birthplace of Latin dance and Latin music. At first, Latin music and dance were a way for people to celebrate victory or harvest, and later they gradually developed into a way for young people to express their love for each other. In the process of its development, Latin dance was rejected because it was too enthusiastic, too straightforward and without any constraints, but this did not affect the development of Latin dance, and its irresistible charm finally made Latin dance popular all over the world.
