Latin dance is a general label, and merely refers to music and dances that originated in Latin America. There are many dances which were popular in the first part of the 20th century, but which are now of only historical interest. As fad dances they came and went.

Latin every night with every Wednesday, Tango night. How about that?

There, was the beginning of Latin music and dance.
