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.
