Question:

What are some examples of spanish dances?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I would say that there are two types of Spanish dances. 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. Habanera Juventud and Philippine Paso Doble.
From Argentina - Tango

Now if you wish to trace where all the hispanic dances comes from... the answer is Fandango. Flamenco develops from Fandango.
