Learn to Dance Salsa 
Wednesday, September 29, 2021

Salsa is a rhythmic Latin dance with its origins in Colombian culture. Salsa dancers move their feet to the beat of the music and are influenced by the movements of the cha-cha, mambo, and African styles as well. When dancing salsa, dancers often add their own flair by moving their hips and upper body in coordination with the basic footwork.
