There are dozens of dances that originated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/destinations\/south-america\">South America<\/a> and here are some of my favourites.<\/p>\n<h3>Tango<\/h3>\n<p>The tango is a passionate dance which originated in the dance houses of working class Buenos Aires. It is a mixture of many different dances and has European, Latin and even African elements. It is an intimate dance between two people and consists of abrupt rhythms, postures alternated by pauses. Don&#8217;t be surprised to see a couple swirling around the dance floor when you walk into a bar or restaurant in Buenos Aires. And if you&#8217;re lucky you might even be asked to tango yourself.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/12\/0923_sam_2011st1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple dancing the tango\" width=\"500\" height=\"345\" \/><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Merengue<\/h3>\n<p>Allegedly the dance originated among slaves in the Dominican Republic who were working in the sugar beet fields. They wore chains around their ankles which restricted their leg movement. This is reflected in the Meringue&#8217;s moves. The dance partners hold each other in a closed position and while slightly bending their knees, they move their hips from left to right.<\/p>\n<h3>Salsa<\/h3>\n<p>When travelling to Cuba, you&#8217;ll hear salsa music everywhere: in houses, bars, cars. It seems to be part of daily life in Cuba. Salsa dancing originally started in Cuba and its movements have its origins in the Cuban Son, the Cha cha cha and the Mambo. Salsa is danced with a partner and While stepping forward and backwards repeatedly, the dancers&#8217; upper bodies remain steady though arm and shoulder movements are incorporated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3089\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3089\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/12\/salsa-dancing1.jpg\" alt=\"Salsa dancing\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rekapalli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rahul rekapalli <\/a>under Creative Common Licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Samba<\/h3>\n<p>The samba is a dance that actually finds its origins in West-Africa and made its way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/destinations\/south-america\/brazil\">Brazil<\/a> via the slave trade.
