rumba
Originated in Cuba, the music is 4/4 beat and the speed is about 27 bars per minute. Rumba dance is characterized by lingering music, gentle dancing and graceful dance steps. Cubans are used to walking with things on their heads and adjusting their steps by twisting their hips to keep their balance. Rumba's dance steps inherited this feature. The original dance style blends into the modern mood. The movements are stretching, touching and charming, and the dance is lyrical, romantic and beautiful. Accompanied by touching and euphemistic music, dance is full of romantic atmosphere.

The rhythm of cha-cha dance is basically the same as rumba. Because the accompanying dance and dance steps are light, it has a lively, warm and playful style. Its footwork music has four beats and five steps per bar: slow, slow, fast and fast.
Slow down, hurry up, the hip swing is very similar to rumba. Every dance step should put pressure on the forefoot and bend your knees slightly. When the center of gravity falls on one foot, the heel is lowered, the knee is straight, the hip swings backward, and the other leg is relaxed. Hip swing should be obvious, but jumping fast need not be emphasized.
The tune of cha-cha dance is cheerful and interesting, and the dance steps and arm movements are closely coordinated, giving people a playful and neat feeling. For beginners, you should choose some slow dance music to practice.
The musical beat of cha-cha dance is four beats per bar. The first step, like rumba dance, starts with the second beat of the music bar. Beginners should not only pay attention to the movements and steps, but also pay attention to the mastery of music rhythm, otherwise stepping on the wrong starting beat will make the steps and rhythm wrong.
To learn the cha-cha, we must first practice the syncopation, also called the shrimp step C, which is the most basic dance step of the cha-cha. The combination step consists of five steps, but the steps that can best express the rhythm and steps of cha-cha dance are mainly 3-5 steps. In these three steps, its beat is QQS and its pronunciation is just right. The last three steps are also called fast skating in some textbooks. Because the second step seems to catch up with the first step, this dance step is also called catch-up step.
samba
Originated in Brazil, the music is 4/4 or 2/4 beats, and the speed is about 5 1 bar per minute. Samba dance, with warm music, dynamic dance state and changeable dance steps, is deeply loved by people!
Samba originated in Brazil and is a folk dance. There are many kinds of samba dances from banana to Marka in the local carnival. In order to show the characteristics of samba dance, dancers must perform cheerfully, emotionally and passionately. Samba has a unique rhythm, among which it is famous for its musical instruments with Brazilian characteristics. Samba's unique foot bounce action is produced by the knee and ankle of the center of gravity bending and straightening each other. The time of each flexion and extension is l/2 beat, and the flexion angle varies with the different dance steps, sometimes "slightly" and sometimes "not". Another difficult movement is oblique stabbing of pelvis and buttocks. Without these two movements, samba is difficult to show. The movements of samba must reflect a cheerful atmosphere, and the partners surround each other like a parade and interact with the audience while moving or dancing at a fixed point.
Action decomposition: left and right scanning steps.
1. Step on the left side with your left foot, draw the hip joint from right to left, open and straighten your left hand, and draw an arc elbow from the face side with your right hand.
2. When the right foot touches the ground, the buttocks are put down, the right hand swings backwards to open and straighten, and the left hand draws an arc elbow from the face side.
3. Opposite to 1.
4. In the opposite direction to 2.
Bullfighting dance
Originated in France and developed in Spain, its music is 2/4 beats, and the speed is about 62 bars per minute. People have a special liking for bullfighting dance because of its majestic music, bold dance style and strong and exciting pace. Dancers are required to work hard on their crotch.
Originated in the United States, it developed from a dance called "jitterba". Swing dance canceled all the difficult moves in Jiteba and added some skills. The earliest record of swing dance is a book about swing dance published in Europe by Victor Sylvester, a London dance teacher, in 1944. Pop, rock and roll and American swing dance all have certain influences on swing dance.
Swing dance is a fast-paced and physically exhausting dance. The reason why the jive dance is arranged at the end of the competition is that the contestants must let the audience feel that they are still not tired after the first four dances, and they can still meet new challenges with great investment. It is very popular in the southern United States. In swing dancing, the joints of hands and feet are relaxed and free, the body naturally shakes, the steps are easy, and the partners constantly change positions and turn around. Its music beat is 4/4 beats, and the speed is about 43 bars per minute. It is precisely because of its cheerful music, funny dance and lively and light pace that it has been recognized by more and more people.
Salsa is a kind of spicy tomato juice that South Americans like very much, and its unique "spicy taste" is the source of inspiration for salsa dance. Salsa dance is a unique artistic expression formed by Latin American people in the long history. It is romantic and casual, and it is the common language of enthusiastic Latin American people. Its embryonic form is the simple dance steps of illiberal Cuban slaves, using some ordinary daily necessities as percussion instruments, full of enthusiasm expressed in the original way.
In 1950s, salsa dance skillfully combined traditional salsa dance with jazz dance, street dance, ballroom dance, swing dance and ballet, making it more entertaining and becoming a fashionable Latin dance, which was loved by more and more people.

Aerobic Latin dance
Modern people like innovation, and the simple traditional fitness exercise can't meet their needs more and more, so new Latin dance elements are added to it. People can feel the heat of Latin and keep fit, which can be described as the best of both worlds. Traditional Latin dance originated in Africa and Latin America, and has the characteristics of enthusiasm, boldness and romance. Its dance movements are bold and rough, the speed is changeable, the gestures and steps are rich, the passion is full, and the music rhythm is bright and powerful. Latin dance became "aerobic Latin" after it was introduced into the gym. This name suddenly expresses the idea that Latin dance is a way of fitness. It's not the same as the national Latin dance. On the basis of aerobic exercise, it is more interesting and suitable to incorporate passionate Latin. And there is a big difference between aerobic Latin dance and Latin dance. Latin dance expresses more emotions and is too passionate, while aerobic Latin retains the health and boldness of Latin, removes complexity and exaggeration, and prefers sports. As long as the body is healthy, the general public can practice, and it is suitable for a wide range of ages.
Finally, regarding the dress requirements of Latin dance, because it is characterized by leisure, romance and informality, we should pay attention to the matching of styles, patterns and Latin dance when wearing it, and pay attention to the overall coordination and matching with the colors and sizes of shoes when wearing it.
