BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Latin Music Ever try latin dancing? Would you like to?

Almost 4 years ago I took my first dance lesson w/my hub and I just loved it. I'm a lover of all things dance anyway, but the experience of learning salsa, bachata, rhumba, merengue and cha-cha was just fantastic. The music is beautiful, and the dance moves are mostly easy so anyone can learn. Oh, and besides being a lot of fun dancing is the best calorie-burning activity on the planet.

My favorite? The bachata. It's lovely, simple and the music is wonderful.
Here's a link to an Elvis Martinez number you may like. Every time I hear this one I just wanna get up and dance!

My husband and I took ballroom classes at the community center a few years ago. Cha-cha-cha was my favorite. It's actually not that hard and is a great way to get exercise.

I have to admit that we also do country line dancing. They offer a session for couples that's a blast. You end up mixing around with different partners, and when I got around to the instructor as my partner, it was like a completely different dance. Those guys are really good.
