0 WitchOfSecrets Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 What about... Instead of thinking of dances, what about genres? Jazz could work for some clues. It fuses American and African elements (but that's not really two nations). There's "jazz hands" if that's the gesture you're looking for. It sounds a little like "jacks" - a game of balls and cups? I'm stretching here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tiger_lily111 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Bolero Bolero is a latin dance form that first originated in Spain. Spanish version is in 3/4 time. The Cuban form evolved separately & is in 2/4 (or sometimes 4/4). Cuban bolero "fusions" with other rhythm, dance, & lyrical music types produced a wide range of music considered a type of bolero. A bolero is also a type of "shrug" jacket or shawl, usually a more formal or tailored variety. Balero (ball-AIR-oh), a ball-in-a-cup game, will sound similar to mispronounced bolero (bowl-AIR-oh).

Question
tiger_lily111
Come, dance with me, now
Child of two nations evolved
Combination, styles confused
Resulting in many songs
Some know me by a gesture
Though more formal as I am
Wearing well about your shape
One last clue, I end with this-
A game of balls and cups is
Not my name.
