Salsa

The salsa is an exciting and spicy dance, just like its name. It, like the cha-cha, has roots in Cuba and also mixes in the Afro-Cuban culture and Puerto Rican culture as well. Salsa dancing and music are defined by the mixture of movements, instruments, and beats that comprise this fiery dance. Like the cha-cha and other Latin dances, there is little movement above the waist, but below the smooth torsos, the feet are burning up the dance floor to the beat. Beyond footwork dance moves, the true salsa experience involves feeling the exhilarating rhythm from the inside out and letting the energy of the music flow through your dance. You can dance salsa almost anywhere, especially in Latin night clubs and its following is growing more and more each year.
