Latin dance typically includes dances originating in Latin America and the Caribbean islands like cha cha, rumba, samba, salsa, mambo, danza, merengue, tumba, bachata, cumbia and bolero. Some dance instructors also include tango and Argentine tango in this genre, although they differ from the rest in the style. In Argentina tango is not considered folk dance as is the case with dances like chacarera, gato, escondido or zamba. Typical Bolivian folk dances are morenada, kullawada, llamerada, caporales and the recently created tinku. In Colombia one of the typical dances is the cumbia, not to be mistaken with Argentine cumbia, a popular music genre influenced by Caribbean reggae and ska.
