SALSA


Salsa is a dance for Salsa music created bySpanish -speaking people from the Caribbean and their immigrant communities in the US. Salsa dancing mixes African and European dance influences through the music and dance fusions that are the roots of Salsa: SonGuanguanco , Rubha , Boogaloo , Pachanga , Guaracha , Plena, Bomba

Salsa is normally a partner dance, although there are recognized solo forms, line dancing (suelta), and Rueda DE Casino where groups of couples exchange partners in a circle. Salsa can be improvised or perfomed with a set routine.

The name "Salsa" is the Spanish word for sauce, connoting (in American Spanish) a spicy flavor. Salsa also suggests a "mixture" of ingredients, though this meaning is not found in most stories of the term's origin
