Very informative post. I remember dancing all these dances at school for some cultur@l celebration. It's a pity that some of those traditions are disappearing.
We also have the bailes de tambor or drums dances from our african descendants. I think that was about the only genre that was more mainstream, included as part of every party, maybe because of the possibilities it offers to party animals :)
