Reggaeton

By: Ronald Lashley

Reggaeton Dance

This dance form is an example of a partnered dance. In classes a choreographed sequence is generally taught, but in practice it

is an improvised dance.

Reggaeton History

Reggaeton music originated in Panama in the 1970s. By the 1990s it had spread to Puerto Rico, where the youth now claim Reggaeton as a musical genre of their own. Reggaeton music

has a mixture of Jamaican and Latin American influences, blended with Hip Hop and Electronica beats. Reggaeton

usually incorporates rapping in Spanish or English, and its similar lyrical structure to Hip Hop has caused some

controversy due to the use of sexual innuendo and explicit lyrics in some of the music.
