Latin dance is a general label (and a term in partner dance competition jargon) that refers to various forms of ballroom dance and folk dance, and can include a wide range of dances originating in Latin America (including Puerto Rico and Cuba).

Ballroom examples include the cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, mambo, danza, merengue, tumba, bachata, bomba, plena, paso doble and bolero.[citation needed] Some also consider tango and Argentine tango in this list, although they differ from the rest in their overall style and in dance competition may form their own category or categories.[citation needed] The salsa style, originating among the Latin American population of Spanish Harlem in New York City, is also often considered Latin dance
