It will be around two years since I've started to take salsa classes. For those of you who don't know much about this style, it is very popular dance of Latin-American origin with strong influences form Cuba nad Puerto Rico.
When it comes to the origin salsa music was born in the years 1940-1970 from the fusion of afrocuban and caribbean rhythms under huge influence of jazz and developed mostly in Cuba, Puerto Rico and New York and other countries of Caribbean region.
Salsa culls form many different styles because of variety of origin and many locations where it has been developed. According to that large variations many styles of salsa have sorted out, which differ almost everything, starting with basic step, the way of leading the partner and ending with such important element like rythmic placement of the steps.
Few of the most popular style od salsa are: cuban ( also known as casino), salsa New York on 2 ( you can also find a name mambo on 2 or salsa on 2), Los Angeles style (L.A. style) and Rueda de Casino.
I believe that everyone can find a style of salsa that is suitable for him. Even if someone has no pair there is a hudge possibility to dance slasa solo.
Salsa community is growing all around the world which confirms the noumber of different festivalas and conventions.
I think that the most spectacular variation is rueda de casino, espacially on a large scale :)
