I also fell in love with the music before I got really hooked on the dance. When I tried tango briefly, music was one of the reasons I couldn't get into it. Same with zouk and kizomba. A

I really love the answers
So far, I have been able to identify several reasons: love for latin music => latin dancing - this is quite understandable for someone, who lives in area, where people are exposed to the music even without actively searching for it, e.g. growing up in latin america or multi-cultural centres
established scene - although this is kind of a chicken--egg problem
richness of the dance - relatively easy to start with yet almost infinite opportunities to explore and get better over time keeping the challenge
community associated (or at least the perception thereof) with latin dancing

Sabrosura said: The question (for me) isn't "why Latin dancing ", it's "why Latin music ". There would be no dancing without the music.
