Latin is for Lovers

They’re more open dances than the traditional ballroom dances like the Waltz.

The basic steps of the Latin dances often bear some similarity to each other, so when you learn one, you’re on your way to learning the others. It’s the rhythm and style of movement that varies most.

You can practice Latin anywhere - apart from the Samba, they’re not dances that travel much around the dance floor: you travel round your partner and look sexily into their eyes!

The Latin dances are great for cultivating poise and bearing, not to mention being great exercise for fitness, and toning those muscles.

You can easily teach yourself to dance Latin using a step-by-step video guide. I would recommend Louis van Amstel's dance course for its clarity and enthusiasm, and because it's available online you can download it now.
