One is the Spanish from Spain, and the other one is the Hispanic which comes from Latin America and other Hispanic countries. Let me enumerate some of these Spanish/Hispanic dances. From Spain - Fandango, Flamenco, Jota From Cuba - Habanera, Son Cubano, Rumba, Mambo, Cuban Salsa, Cha-cha-cha From Colombia - Cumbia From Mexico - Paso Doble From Peru - Balse From Puerto Rico - Perreo, Bolero From Dominican Republic - Merengue, Bachata From USA - Salsa On 2 (NY), Salsa On 1 (LA) From Philippines - Carinosa, Pandango, Jota, Rigodon de Honor, Kuratsa, Cha-cha, Caracol.
