Dance 1- Flamenco From Spain
Flamenco is a famous dance form that originated in Spain. Jaleo (dance) is accompanied by tongue (guitar playing), cante (singing), pitos (finger snapping), and palmas (hand clapping). Flamenco is closely linked to the Romani people in Spain, and its style is distinctly Andalusian. The art form is currently taught in many countries worldwide but is most popular in the US and Japan. In the latter country, Flamenco schools outnumber those in Spain.
The art form developed over several centuries from Gypsy, Moorish, Andalusian, and other roots. Flamenco music and dance became popular in the early 19th century as café entertainment. ... The baile grande, especially, is believed to retain elements of the dance of India, where the Gypsies originated.
Dance 2- Latin Dance From Mexico
Latin dance originated in the traditional dances of indigenous cultures of Mexico, South America, Central America and the Caribbean. Like many cultures around the world, dance was essential in communal ritual life. They were performed during rituals and festivals as a symbolic representation of cultural beliefs.
Latin dance is a general label, and a term in partner dance competition jargon. It refers to types of ballroom dance and folk dance that (with few exceptions) originated in Latin America. The category of Latin dances in the international dancesport competitions consists of the cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, paso doble, and also the jive of United States origin.
