My guess is that dancers post 80’s from former communist countries changed the look of lnternational Latin dancing.

This how these songs should be danced. Pure. There are a lot of talented dancers today, but way too much posing in the routines.

Oh, beautifull! I …
Oh, beautifull! I like these old videos a lot. It would be nice to see one from the 50’s. How the dancing looked back then.
The costumes sre also beautifull, maybe even more beautiful than the costumes today. Nowadays the latin dancers wear almost nothing at all. :p

You are absolutely …
You are absolutely right HoverCorte. That’s why I am placing so much of the ‘90 and ‘80 and from way before, so that people in this century realize where it all came from. Thanks for your comment;-)

Modern style Latin …
Modern style Latin dancing had to come from somewhere … and this is where it came from! It may look weird now, but all things start somewhere. I competed as an Amateur during this time and look back with really fond memories! Hated wearing the catsuits tho’!!!

I like the modern …
I like the modern style WAY better than this. The Samba looks really choppy and they pop their chests the way gymnasts do that looks ugly. The one piece things for the guys takes away from their hips. Anyone agree?

Sorry don’t know, …
Sorry don’t know, though must admit I knew the title a long time ago. But, the orchestra is the Midland Big Band (Dutch band), maybe checking by them will help finding the title. Good luck!
