Social Latin dancing is what most people are doing in Latin dance clubs, what you hear on Spanish radio stations, and what most students want to learn.

These are dances that originated in Latin American and Caribbean countries. Salsa, merengue, cha-cha, and rumba are the most popular. These dances are all taught in this class. There are many others.

Popularity depends on where you are. In the Dominic Republic, merengue is more popular than salsa. In Cuba, salsa is way more popular than any other Latin dance. But over all, salsa is the most popular. In certain parts of Mexico, cumbia is very popular.
