Share our Passion for Cuban Salsa

Cuban Salsa is natural, flowing and evocative of the Cuban Culture. The rhythm come from the drums of the African slaves mixed with sounds bought by the Spanish invaders. The step has its roots in Africa with its complete connection to the earth. The body movements comes from the Son and tells the story of the Cuban rumba, which can change between being coy, seductive or outright flirtatious! The movements are always measured, just enough to put the message across, but what a message !! There are many types of salsa but Cuban Salsa is the dance that stays closes to the Afro-Cuban Traditions and contains that magic ingredient that you will fall in love with.

Cuban Salsa is regarded as a club dance never with choreography or any formality. It's a dance for couples. The dance needs to be danced close with a good visual connection between partners. The movement is generally circular with stepped moves never spins. The footwork should have a complete connection with the floor, with the whole of the foot.

            Its danced over 2 bars, 8 beats with a pause on the 4 and 8 beat, stepping on each of the other 6 beats. The man starts with the left and lady with the right leg.

            Salsa means sauce, a mixture of lots of influences of dances and music mainly from the Latin Afro-Cuban Culture.
