This is a picture of some people doing the Cueca, the national dance of Chile, and one of the dances we learned in my class. It is supposed to be danced with a girl and guy, but in our class of about 30, we only had 4 boys, so that was never possible.
A few of the other dances we learned include: Sauu-sau, Tamuré (Rapa-Nui), Ranchera, Cielito (Chiloé), Diablada and Morenada (Religioso).

It was a quality class and our teacher was a wonderful dancer, and an all around amazing and patient guy! (our class was all gringos and we were all pretty terrible at the dances) I'm kinda sad it's over... but our teacher gave us CD's with all the songs on it so I'll be bringing all the dances home with me! (If I can remember them all)
