Ballroom - Latin

What is Ballroom Latin?

Ballroom Latin refers to a group of Latin-style partner dances that are part of the competitive ballroom dance world. These include Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, and Jive. Each dance has its own rhythm, technique, and personality—from the romantic, slow Rumba to the fiery intensity of Paso Doble. Latin ballroom emphasizes sharp footwork, hip action, musical expression, and dynamic connection between partners. Whether danced socially or competitively, Latin ballroom is vibrant, powerful, and full of life.
