Polka, Sudarushka and Russian Lyrical were progressive dances, i.e., moving along the line of dance.
The former three are "fast" or "rhythmic" dances, the latter two are "slow" or "lyrical" ones.
They could be easily learned by children and adults.

 Latin Dances
Real interest in Latin music began about 1929.
In 1935, George Raft played the part of a suave dancer in the movie "Rumba", a rather superficial musical in which the hero finally won the heiress (Carol Lombard) through the mutual love of dancing.
The word Rumba is a generic term, covering a variety of names (i.e., Son, Danzon, Guagira, Guaracha, Naningo), for a type of West Indian music or dancing.

 Social Ballroom Dancing
However, in social dancing, one often dances to music recorded for listening, not for dancing.
However, it is about dancing to any kind of dance music, not just ballroom dance music.
There are many different kinds of dance music: ballroom, swing, latin, rock, rap, hip hop, etc., as well as music for listening that does not exactly fit any dance, but is danceable.

 History of Latin-American Dancing
These differ only as to which beat of the musical bar is stressed by the dancing: beat 4 in the first case, beat 1 in the second (Rust, 1969, 105).
The dances were all done to 4/4 Ragtime music, with stress on beats 2 and 4, and have syncopated rhythms.
Beat 1 is a strong beat of the music, but all that moves on that beat are the hips, so the music emphasises the dancing of the hips.

 History of Latin Dances
Sam Cooke, The Diamonds, Johnny Otis, Elvis Presley, Bo Diddley and Nat King Cole all helped popularize Latin music with hits containing elements from Cuban music.
The film industry continued to popularize Latin music with Desi Arnaz and his orchestra singing such songs as "Babalu" and "Cumbanchero".
In Latin music most of the listeners are not even aware that the drum rhythms we dance to are actually religious in meaning, dedicated to various African gods.

 Ballroom dance
Some ballroom dance instructors specialize in the dances of one place or time, or in fad dances, short-lived, time-specific dances which may be associated with the music or style of an era (" The Twist ") or a particular song (" YMCA ", " La Macarena ").
One example would be the subcategory of Cajun Dances which originated in New Orleans, with branches reaching both coasts of the USA.
In times past ballroom dancing was "social dancing" of privileged classes, leaving "folk dancing" for other folks.

 Latin American music and dance
Iberian origins of many song and dance forms are evident in the use of harps, fiddles, guitars, and many song types derived from Spanish verse structures such as the copla and decima.
As a type of ballroom dance, calypso resembles the rumba, and the music often is performed with conventional dance-band instruments.
Rhumba is an American term for various Cuban song and dance genres--for example, the son or BOLERO, which are not actually rumbas but were popular dance music styles in the United States during the 1930s and '40s.
