Which Latin dances were promoted by professional ballroom dance teams?

Professional ballroom dance teams played a significant role in promoting various Latin dances throughout the 20th century. Early exhibition teams gained reputations for performing exotic dances such as the Argentine or Parisian tangos and the Brazilian maxixe.1

Later, during the 1930s, the popularity of Caribbean and South American music supported a Latin dance craze that brought renewed attention to exhibition teams performing the rumba, as well as acrobatic adagio and slow-dance styles. These professional teams were also instrumental in promoting the Cuban mambo and the cha-cha.1
