But that's not all, these dances have various origins.
The Romance languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) have their origins in the ancient Latin language, which spread throughout most of the Americas, creating a culture.
Three dances came from this part of the world, one from Spain or France, and the other from the United States, leading to what is now the international standard dance, Latin Dance.
When referring to the term Latin dance, this is an acronym for Latin and American, rather than referring to the geographic region of Latin America.
The three dances from Latin America are a fusion of Native, European and Negro dances.
In the early days, European conquistadors imported Negroes from all over West Africa to most of the Americas, mainly because they had a hard time persuading the natives to work for them.
So numerous were these blacks that by 1553 they outnumbered the Europeans in Mexico, and the viceroy ordered Charles of Spain to prohibit any further influx of blacks.
Dance had a pivotal role in all three cultures: European, Negro, and Native In 1569, the viceroy of Mexico ordered the burying of the calendar of the Aflatacs, because the main entertainment of the Negroes had become dance, which had become popular there.
Then the viceroy decreed that dancing could be done only on Sundays and holidays from 2:00 to 6:00 pm.
By the 17th and 18th centuries, the gradual fusion of the three cultures led to the creation of a new culture, the Creole language.
As European dances were introduced to Latin America, they gradually embraced this culture.
In Cuba, with the popularization of syncopated rhythms, the opposite dance became the Habanera (a tango-like dance).
Later, as the rhythms merged with bar music, the syncopation became stronger and stronger and became shortened to "son".
This rhythm was already in use in Brazil in 1795, and one of its songs (Love Song) became popular in Europe at the turn of the 19th century.
The complex syncopated rhythms now characterize all Latin dances.
