LATIN-AMERICAN DANCE
	The Afro-cuban and Caribbean rhythms are direct sons of african peoples and cultures.     The dances mantain the essence of the religious and cerimonial cultures of those ancient people.     With the emigration through slavery during the XVII and XVIII centuaries, some of these people were able to maintain their own roots. Others had to integrate with the religions and customs of the european culture, giving life to other music styles.     Therefore the Latin music evolved into a popular style bringing expresions of joy and sensuality to all its dances.
