Poll:What is your favorite Latin American dance?

Sarah · Guru

Well it depends if its to watch or to actually dance - for watching I voted jive because its just so entertaining and fast-paced. But for dancing myself my favourtie is the cha-cha.

Samsaf · Member

To dance i would say the Rumba because it's slow and gives you time to define your shape but i also love the jive to dance to and to watch so i chose the Jive.

My order would be:

Jive
Rumba
Samba
Cha Cha
Paso

I love all of the latin dances, especially the jive and paso doble, so it's hard to choose one but I voted for the jive because it's so lively and cheerful.

I've voted Rumba, but I love the Cha Cha Cha just as much. I love the Paso Doble, to watch and would like to try dancing it. Hate the Samba, both to dance and to watch, and am probably unique in not being a huge fan of the Jive.

I said Paso Doble. When it's danced properly!! When it's not it's still good though, it's amusing!!

I like Jive too though, and Rumba.

Me too Marina - love the passion, but I also loved the drama in Brendan's paso!

Rachel · Guru

I love the Rumba because it is so sensual and romantic.

However as I have only ever seen this dance in the SCD competition I have nothing to compare it to and hence I am of course going on Natasha and Brendan's performance.

i like the cha cha cha. It's a bit cheeky and flirty.

Now I have actually done some dancing (yay!!!!) I have decided my fave is the ChaCha.

Its got a great rhythm and also its the first latin dance i've ever really done so I think now it'll always be my favourite!

Yes its my favourite to dance to as well - you're right it has a great rhythm and the best thing is that you can work the rhythms of most songs to be able to do a chacha to them!

I love the samba!

Michelle · New Member

Oh yeah and the rumba is great. So sexy!

Keelz · Member

Its hard to decide! I love the rumba and the jive! Think i'd be eering on the side of jive more!

xLaurenxx · Member

I haven't really experienced dancing the rumba properly yet,but i absolutely love watching it and I can sense dancing it must be amazing too (with the right person!).I love dancing the cha cha and the jive however,because i just love the energy,the samba is also quite fun if done correctly. They are all great for different reasons, for example the paso is fantastic to watch because of its fantastic dramatic sense.
