Ritmo Latino is the student-led latin dance group on campus. It is widely known for dancing Rueda de Casino, a type of salsa traditionally danced in a circle. Ritmo was originally convened informally to perform for the vista convocation in 2005, but was officially founded in 2006 as a student-run organization. Ritmo is know to be more traditional, focusing on the Latin dances of Rumba Cubana and Bomba. However, today Ritmo strives to evolve and attempts to modernize other traditional Latin styles such as Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata, Salsa, and Joropo. For their Spring 2012 show, Ritmo continued to explore new styles of dance by experimenting with Samba, Lambada and Kizomba. Through dance practices and preparations for shows, Ritmo provides a fun and diverse energetic community offering support and guidance for members and non-members. Also, throughout the year Ritmo holds lessons for anyone in the community to come and learn their fun dances and latin culture.
