Music
Latin dance reflects a lifestyle of the Hispanic countries that have warm weather, bright days and abundant nature. People in South America are very welcoming and they always express the joy of living through music and dance. With a style so different from traditional dances, the Latino dance expresses courage, strength, and especially feeling. One of the main characteristics of these dances is movements of the hips and the sensual steps.
There are a lot of Latino dance styles that you could learn in Spain: Salsa, Meringue, bachata o cha cha cha, are currently the most fashionable. Flamenco is also possible on request. Instituto Hemingway, Spanish Language School, offers you the unique opportunity to learn these dances.
