The most popular Latin dances: From salsa to kizomba

The world of Latin American rhythms is extremely diverse. Although they are often divided into classical competitive and modern social (social) dances, they all have in common an incredible charisma and a rhythm that moves the whole body.

• Salsa: Queen of Latin parties, known for its speed, attractive turns and freedom of improvisation.

• Bachata: A dance originating from the Dominican Republic, recognizable by its gentler and more sensual rhythm, with an emphasis on the harmony of movements between partners.

• Cha-Cha-Cha (Cha-Cha-Cha): Dynamic, Bold and rhythmic competitive dance with a recognizable syncopated step that requires precision and a high level of energy.

• Kizomba and Merengue: While merengue is quick and easy to learn, kizomba (although it has its roots in Africa, it is an indispensable part of the Latin evening) brings a slower, deeper and extremely close sensual dance contact.

Dance as an ideal training for body and mind

Latino dances are complete psychophysical training. During just one dance class, you can burn between 400 and 600 calories, without having the feeling of heavy and monotonous exercise like in the gym. Dancing activates all muscle groups, especially the core (abdominal and back muscles), buttocks and legs. In addition to physical benefits, learning choreography and coordinating with a partner drastically improves memory, motor skills and concentration, while music stimulates the secretion of happiness hormones and successfully eliminates anxiety.

Do you need a partner to enroll in a dance school?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to have a partner to start training Latin dances. In most dance schools in Belgrade, groups are formed individually, and during the lesson the instructors constantly rotate partners. This method has proven to be the best because it teaches you how to dance with different styles of leading and following, while also facilitating familiarization and socialization. All you need for the first class are comfortable clothes, clean shoes and good energy.
