There are many types of Latin dance, including the cha-cha, salsa, rumba and tango. Latin dance is often fast-paced and highly energetic and is a great way of keeping fit as well as being entertaining. Latin dance clubs are not that frequent in each city or town around America, even in California. Whittier has no Latin dance clubs, so if you want to experience Latin music you will have to travel to a surrounding town or city.
