The romantic Bolero is the slowest of the Latin dances. It combines controlled movement with dramatic expression of the music. Slower than the rumba, Bolero is a very smooth, sophisticated dance. It teaches good balance, strong leg lines, and a great attention to your partner. Perhaps the most intimate of the latin dances, Bolero is a great challenge for taking your dancing to the next level. Popular Bolero songs include Celine Dion\u2019s \u201cFalling Into You\u201d and Paul Carrack\u2019s \u201cSatisfy My Soul\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
