What's so Good About the Salsa

One kind of dance that's soaring in popularity is the Salsa which is most certainly due to the passionate, sensuous, seductive moves and sheer closeness of the dancers. It is an electrifying dynamic kind of dance relating to the relationship between a Man and a Woman.

It has also become the dance of preference for the creation of numerous and enchanting love stories in modern day movies. "Dirty Dancing" with Patrick Swayze springs to mind.

Styles of Salsa

The Salsa can best be defined as a hybrid of dances and cultures originating near the end of the 19th Century originally from Cuban Son music; Son being the Spanish name for sound. It is really a rich diverse style of Latin American music greatly inspired by both Western and African civilizations.

Over time the Salsa has evolved in to numerous distinct variations named after the geographical locations that they originated from. A few examples of these different types of Salsa are listed below: -

The Cuban or "Casino" Salsa could best be referred to as the relationships between the sexes with the dancers intimately teasing and taunting one another through the gyrating of the hips and shoulder within really close proximity to one another but without really touching.

The Columbian or "Cali" Salsa is most widely known because of its delicate footwork comprising of speedy steps together with skipping movements whilst keeping the top half of one's body still.

The Los Angeles Style is one of the most recent types of Salsa adapted out of the Latin American music from the late Twentieth Century. Many of the Salsa routines you find in modern-day performances happen to be based on this kind of dance that can take a lot of its lifts along with other fancy stunt work from different kinds of Latin and Ballroom Dances.

Modern day Developments
