Did You Know? - Not All Latin Dances Are Fast-Paced Contrary to popular belief, not all kinds of Latin dances are swift and require quick footwork. Bolero, which is a form of slow Latin dancing, is best performed to unhurried romantic music. There are two kinds of the dance, one was invented in Spain, and the other, in Cuba. It was originally developed as a dance for couples, which explains the smooth, gentle moves involved. Later, with the influx of influences from other forms like Italian ballet, Bolero was developed to be performed in a theater setting.

Did You Know? - Latin Music Instruments Have Evolved Greatly Music forms the backbone of Latin dancing. Traditional Latin music has its origins in Cuba. The Cuban genre of dance music is known as Timba, and the instruments initially used to provide musical accompaniment to dance include the maracas, bongos, marimba and conga drums. Today, the range of instruments used to create Latin music has expanded to include modern instruments like a piano, trumpets, flutes, violins, cellos, guitars, and percussion instruments like a complete set of drums.

Did You Know? - The Shoes Matter The Most! Most Latin dances, if not all of them, focus largely on footwork. Naturally, what you slip your feet into matters a great deal when you're getting on the dance floor. The most commonly used kind of footwear always includes high heels, but it's designed in a manner that is comfortable to dance in. Take a peek into the on-line collection of Burju shoes, and you'll get what we mean. High heels can be comfortable, especially if your shoes are custom-made for your requirements.
