Salsa is fast, fun and great exercise. This is the Latin Party Dance. When you can dance salsa you can dance anything!

The Original Salsa was Mambo and was created in New York when the Cuban/ Puerto Rican rhythms combined with New York Jazz.

The fad of the mambo faded but the rhythms and feel stayed in the latin communities and travelled to South America, Mexico and other parts of the Caribbean.  Other types of music and dance influenced the sound and it became what we now know as Salsa.   The dance Salsa has some Mambo, some Merengue, some Cuban Rumba and even a little Swing thrown in.

The best place to start learning Salsa is with the rhythm of the music, then learn the steps.  Get your body to move with the right action and coordination and then the steps come much easier.
