Samba
The samba, which originated in Brazil, is a Brazilian folk dance, and there are many kinds of sambas in the local Carnaval from Bajao to Marcha. In order to bring out the character of the samba, the dancers must be joyful, sensational, and exciting. Many of the movements in today's samba require that the dancers tilt their pelvic bones. It is a difficult movement to accomplish, but without it the samba would lose its characteristic charm, and before 1914 it was made famous by a Brazilian named "Maxixe", the first attempt to introduce the samba to Europe. The first attempts to introduce the samba to European dance halls were made in 1923-1924, but it was not until World War II that the samba became popular in Europe.

The cha-cha-cha
The cha-cha-cha is the newest of the Latin dancesThis dance first appeared in American ballrooms in the early 1950s, and was developed from a dance called the mambo. Along with the mambo, another rhythm flourished and eventually became popular around the world, the cha-cha-cha-cha. Its music is a little slower than the mambo, and its rhythm is simpler and faster. The cha-cha-cha-cha brings people a happy, relaxed, amusing, and somewhat party atmosphere. It was later shortened to cha-cha-cha.
Bullfighting dance
Bullfighting dance originated in Spain, and was developed from the basic movements of matadors during bullfighting. In bullfighting, the role of the male partner (the matador) is more important than in any other dance. The lady, on the other hand, plays the role of the red trembler or the bull, as the case may be. Bullfighting was popularized in the 1920s.
The Latin dance of the bullfight may be one of the last dances you learn. This is because it is based on previous choreography and it is quite difficult to learn and improve.
Rumba
The rumba originated in Cuba and is a typical strong rhythmic dance. It has become a classic of all Latin dances, and many of the basic moves are now old stories with a feminine touch. A beautifully choreographed dance always has an element of "teasing, chasing"; the male partner is first seduced and then rejected.
