What is the difference between Latin dances & Rhythm dances?
Latin dances refer to the International Style. Rhythm dances refer to the American Style. The American Style “Rhythm” dances include the Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, Samba, Mambo, Bolero, and Merengue. At PJ’s Dancetique, we have added the Salsa, Bolero, and Cumbia to the Rhythm Styles. The American Style Rhythm dances have a greater variety of patterns and are more suited for social dancing than Latin dances. The International Style “Latin” dances include the Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble and Jive. These “Latin” dances are more disciplined and technical.
