Some dances are so old, they're like ancient treasures! Over time, these dances have been shared and changed, like a game of telephone, making them even more exciting and popular all over the world today.

Latin dances have a special sparkle! They often involve moving your hips and shoulders to the music, making you feel like you're floating. Many are partner dances, meaning you dance with someone else, holding hands or close together.
