What is salsa?

There are as many Salsa dance styles as there are people dancing! This is because Salsa is a “Free-Style”. It is free and spontaneous with no set routine to follow or reference standard. Once upon a time, all you needed were a few basic moves and the rest was following the music with your heart! Since then, Salsa has absorbed many other dance forms to become a more sophisticated dance.

Salsa is similar to Mambo in that both have a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many of the same moves. In the Salsa, turns have become an important feature, so the overall look and feel are quite different from those of Mambo. Mambo moves generally forward and backward, whereas, Salsa has more of a side to side feel.
