Also known as danzon, danzonera

Danzón is the official genre and dance of Cuba. It is also an active musical form in the United States and Puerto Rico. Written in time, the danzón is a slow, formal partner dance, requiring set footwork around syncopated beats, and incorporating elegant pauses while the couples stand listening to virtuoso instrumental passages, as characteristically played by a charanga or típica ensemble.
