Today, I've decided to write about Salsa. I think this form of dance is really interesting and fun. So, I chose to find out more about it.
Salsa is a popular form of dance from New York with heavy influences from Latin America, particularly Cuba and Puerto Rico. The movements of salsa have its originate from Cuban Son in the mid-1970s. It was extracted from Latin and Afro-Caribbean dance forms. A European touch was added when the Danzón was brought over from France. From this we know, salsa dancing has been deduced for many different styles and therefore no single country or culture can take credit for it.
The term, salsa, also refers to a variety of Hispanic styles; Rhumba, Són Montuno, Guaracha, Mambo, Cha cha cha, Danzón, Són, Guguanco, Cubop, Guajira, Charanga, Cumbia, Plena, Bomba, Festejo and Merengue.
