Bolero

Music: Danced in 4/4 timing, the Bolero has 4 even beats to the bar with accent on the first beat. Slow sensuous love songs in Spanish are often used and are very popular.

Characteristics: A slight rise and fall together with a smooth sophisticated movement and a romantic communication between the partners makes this the ideal dance of love. Turns, breaks and wrapping type movements, together with changes of rhythm and a sense of playfulness towards each other, tell the story of this dance.
