Latin dance is a general label, and a term in partner dance competition jargon. It refers to types of ballroom dance and folk dance that (with few exceptions) originated in Latin America. The category of Latin dances in the international dancesport competitions consists of the cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, paso doble, and also the jive of United States origin.〔Lavelle, Doris 1983. ''Latin & American dances''. 3rd ed, Black, London, p108.〕〔The reason jive is included with the latin dances is because its dance style is similar: "... a non-progressive dance which can be danced in a small space when the floor is crowded". and "The hold is similar to latin dances" (it is quite different from the modern or ballroom dances ). Silvester, Victor 1977. ''Dancing: ballroom, latin-american and social'', 105/6. ISBN 0-340-22517-3. Teach Yourself Books〕 Social Latin dances (Street Latin) include salsa, mambo, merengue, tumba, bachata, bomba, plena, and the Argentine tango. There are many dances which were popular in the first part of the 20th century, but which are now of only historical interest. The Cuban danzón is a good example.〔Santos, John. 1982. The Cuban Danzón (liner notes). New York, Folkways Records FE 4066〕 Perreo is a Puerto Rican dance associated with Reggaeton music with Jamaican and Caribbean influences. Latin folk dances of Argentina include the chacarera, gato, escondido and zamba. Typical Bolivian folk dances are the morenada, kullawada, caporales and the recently created tinku. In Colombia one of the typical dances is the cumbia.〔 At the beginning of each chapter (except the Guianas) is a section on "Music and Dance" written by Nigel Gallop, an Englishman, fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, who lived and worked in almost every country of South America.〕〔 Dance information is provided under "Culture" headings.〕 ==See also == *International Latin American Dance Champions *World Latin Dance Champions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latin dance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
