About Salsa
Salsa is a passionate, vibrant partner dance that emerged from Cuban Son and Afro-Caribbean traditions, evolving into its modern form in the Latin communities of New York City during the 1960s and 70s. Danced to the irresistible rhythms of Salsa music with its rich brass and percussion arrangements, it features intricate footwork patterns, dynamic turning sequences, expressive hip motion, and a spirited connection between partners that makes every dance a unique improvised conversation. Salsa is among the most widely practiced social partner dances globally, with thriving communities in every major American city and worldwide. Multiple regional styles exist — LA style On1, New York style On2, and Cuban Casino style — each with its own community and distinct character. No prior dance experience or partner is needed to begin. Most group Salsa classes rotate partners throughout, making it an incredibly welcoming and socially rich activity for singles and couples alike. Find Salsa classes near you today.
