Salsa dancing is a form of dance that has been around for hundreds of years and is enjoyed by many people around the world. It originated in the 1920s in Eastern Cuba as a result of the popular music that has been played since 1910. The popular dance form spread throughout Cuba and Puerto Rico and into Central America. Once it reached New York its popularity skyrocketed and its further spread to the rest of America and into the rest of the world.
Salsa dancing is a mixture of several different Latin styles that include the mambo flamenco tango and cha cha. Each Latin region has its own distinct flavour that it adds to its music and dance.
