This Latin dance style has been around for quite some time (around a century or so) in either its Songo form or more popular name Salsa. Salsa evolved from Son Cubano, which is danced contra-tiempo (off-tempo). Salsa can be considered the dance style permeates the notion of Latin American music and dance. Salsa has various different branches such as Cuban Salsa, which can be divided into Casino Salsa and Timba, New York Salsa (or Salsa on 2), and LA Salsa (Salsa on 1), Salsa Caleña, Puerto Rican Salsa. As you can see, there are many different Salsa styles out there. During this class I will teach mainly Cuban Salsa in its two forms (Casino and Timba), as well as LA Salsa (Salsa on 1).
