What do you know about Salsa?

Salsa refers to a fusion of informal dance styles having roots in the Caribbean (especially inCuba andPuertorico ), Latin and North America. The dance originated through the mixture of Mambo, Danzón, Guaguancó, Cuban Son, and other typical Cuban dance forms. Salsa is danced to Salsa music. There is a strong African influence in the music as well as the dance.

Salsa is usually a partner dance, although there are recognized solo steps and some forms are danced in groups of couples, with frequent exchanges of partner (Rueda de Casino). Improvisation and social dancing are important elements of Salsa but it appears as a performance dance too.

The name "Salsa" is the Spanish word for sauce, connoting (in American Spanish) a spicy flavor[1]. The Salsa aesthetic is more flirtatious and sensuous than its ancestor, Cuban Son. Salsa also suggests a "mixture" of ingredients, though this meaning is not found in most stories of the term's origin.

Salsa dance is reaction to the Salsa music , so if you want to have a better understanding of Salsa
you should have good ear to differentiate it , the Salsa is the primary music played at Latin dance clubs and is the "essential pulse of Latin music"

Dance Vs Sports Vs Life

Dancing in my viewpoint is a way to move the body and the emotions of the human soul , it is not only a mere sport and it is not only feelings expression , but it is an Infusion of both in one , so that's why some people who are bored of going to gym to do daily dull chores

They prefer dancing as a better way of having their mind and body harmonized , usually after dancing you feel that you are high esteem , which lets you better receive the rest of the day in
a positive attitude .

The benefits might not stop here , Cause dancing makes you meet more people and this will give the opportunity of have wider base of relationships , broaden your cultural knowledge and experience in addition it might give the opportunity to have some extra income if you are an expert and offering some classes for people who might be interested as well

Not to forget that people who loves to dance usually are active lively people who are usually
Having more flexibility in dealing with people , and they usually make Good parents

In short dancing can be a meter of human soul kindness , who hates dancing must have something wrong at least this is my point of view!! don't you agree
