Did You Know? - Tango Was Insanely Popular! During the early 1910's, Tango was the rage that was ruling the world. Everybody even remotely aware of the dance form was talking about the tango, learning it, or doing it. The sudden craze began in Paris in 1912 when tango tea parties became popular. These parties involved serving tea as a refreshment between dances. The trend quickly swept past Paris into the rest of Europe and beyond. Soon, everyone was taken in by this new wave of interest in tango, which was arguably the most sought-after Latin dance back then.

Did You Know? - Latin Dancing Has Several Benefits There's no denying Latin dancing is an enjoyable pastime. However, Latin dancing also has several beneficial effects on the dancer. For one thing, it helps shy people open up and mingle. Also, Latin dancing helps improve balance and keeps your body young because it targets different body parts in isolation, and requires the dancer to move each part in rhythm with the music. Latin dances also improve the flexibility of the joints and keep the bones healthy.

Did You Know? - Bruce Lee Started Off As A Latin Dancer! Everyone remembers Bruce Lee as the greatest martial artist who ever lived. But few know how great of a dancer he was. He studied Cha-cha as earnestly as he learned Kung Fu, he even had a notebook where he noted down over a hundred Cha-cha steps. On his passage to San Francisco, young Lee was put up in the lower decks of the ship but, he was soon invited up to teach the Latin dance to the passengers in the first-class lodgings. Also, Bruce Lee's first job in America was a dance instructor, before he left it all behind for the martial arts.
