Bolero
Bolero is a form of slow-tempo Latin music and its associated dance and song. There are Spanish, and Cuban forms, which are both significant, and which have separate origins.
American Rhythm: Bolero is one of the competition dances in American Rhythm ballroom dance category. The first step is typically taken on the first beat, held during the second beat with two more steps falling on beats three and four (cued as "slow-quick-quick"). In competitive dance the music is in 4/4 time and will range between 96 to 104 bpm. This dance is quite different from the other American Rhythm dances in that it not only requires cuban motion but rises and falls such as found in waltz and contra body movement. Popular music for this dance style need not be latin in origin.
