Salsa

The Salsa is a lively, fiery and enjoyable dance that is really easy to get the basics of.

In essence, Salsa is no more than a step forward and a step back, with a rock in between. It’s largely a partner dance, but with many fancy “shines” that can be thrown in individually.

It’s important to note first that while Salsa music uses 4/4 time, the dance does not have the usual 1,2,3,4 step count that many dances use. Instead, it leaves out the 4 and 8 count, creating a slight pause. Also note that the male and female steps are directly reversed to allow fluid movement.

There are many different styles of Salsa dance popular today. Each style represents the cultural preferences of dancers. You can be sure that Salsa dancers from other cities, neighbourhoods, or other times, dance differently. Each Salsa dance style has its own distinct characteristics. The names of the styles are based on the people or geographic area that popularized them. Also, Salsa can be danced while accenting different beats in the music.
