What types of Latin dance are there? What is the difference?
Latin dance includes cha-cha, rumba, samba, bullfighting and jive; They originated from different countries and regions, standardized and developed in Britain in the early 20th century, and quickly became popular in many countries. At that time, bars in social places were very popular forms of social entertainment; Great Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s was also very popular. Later, it became an international competition through the unified norms of the Royal Association of Dance Teachers, which has continued to this day. Among them, the famous events are Blackpool Dance Festival (78 laps), British International Championship (5 1 lap), British International Open and German World Dance Championship. Specifically, Latin ballroom dancing can be divided into children and adults. Those who study for 1 year or more can take the bronze medal, those who study for more than 3 years can take the silver medal and those who study for more than 5 years can take the gold medal. However, there are exceptions to winning the gold medal three years later, depending on personal qualifications.

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 they adjust their pace by twisting their crotch to both sides 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.

swing dance

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.

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.
