Dances have a cadence to their steps. In honor of Cadence, these puppies are all names of dances.

The male dancers:

“Jive” – Jive is a very happy, boppy, energetic dance, with plenty of knee-lifting, bending, and rocking of the hips. The fastest of the Latin dances, jive incorporates lots of kicks and flicks, even twirling of the woman, and doesn’t move around the dance floor like other dances. Jive is a solid fawn

 

	“Disco”  Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States’ urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars. Disco is a fawn brindle.

“Kabuki”  is a classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama, the often-glamorous costumes worn by performers, and for the elaborate kumadori make-up worn by some of its performers. Kabuki is a fawn brindle

The female dancers:

	“Cha-cha” – is a dance of Cuban origin. It is danced to the music of the same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin. The name of the dance is derived from the shuffling sound of the dancers’ feet when they dance two consecutive quick steps (correctly, on the fourth count of each measure) that characterize the dance. Cha cha is a solid fawn

 

“Salsa” – Salsa is a Latin dance associated with the music genre of the same name which originated in the 1960s in New York City. Salsa is an amalgamation of Cuban dances that were popular in the ballrooms and nightclubs of Havana by the end of the 1950s (e.g. “casino”, mambo and pachanga), as well as American jazz dances. Salsa is a solid fawn.

 

	“Ballet” – Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology. Ballet is a fawn brindle.
