I would say that there are two types of Spanish dances. One is the Spanish from Spain, and the other one is the Hispanic which comes from Latin America and other Hispanic countries. Let me enumerate some of these Spanish/Hispanic dances.
From Spain - Fandango, Flamenco, Jota
From Cuba - Habanera, Son Cubano, Rumba, Mambo, Cuban Salsa, Cha-cha-cha
From Colombia - Cumbia
From Mexico - Paso Doble
From Peru - Balse
From Puerto Rico - Perreo, Bolero
From Dominican Republic - Merengue, Bachata
From USA - Salsa On 2 (NY), Salsa On 1 (LA)
From Philippines - Carinosa, Pandango, Jota, Rigodon de Honor, Kuratsa, Cha-cha, Caracol. Habanera Juventud and Philippine Paso Doble.
From Argentina - Tango
Now if you wish to trace where all the hispanic dances comes from... the answer is Fandango. Flamenco develops from Fandango.

Do you mean Spanish like from Spain or Spanish as from countries where the spoken language is Spanish?
Spanish from Spain are Flamenco (please note the word is Flamenco, not Flaminco, this mistake drives Flamenco teachers nuts) and Paso Doble.
"Spanish" in broader sence aslo include Tango, Mambo, Rumba, Bolero, Bachata, Merengue and many more.
If you want to learn more about each dance you can use http://www.wikipedia.org - they have pretty good information about each dance. Just type the name of the dance in their search window and you will see a lot of information about history, the kind of music it is dances to and other relevant info.
