cocktail of parts of Merengue, Mambo, Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba and all the other Latin dances.
There are many different types of music for Salsa but most have 4 beats in each measure – the
tempo can also vary tremendously – so the dancers must adjust the speed of their steps to match
the music. Salsa has been popular for years in the Latin clubs of New York, Chicago, Houston,
Los Angeles and Miami, but the release of the movie ‘Salsa’ in 1988 increased its popularity and
heightened the public’s awareness of this dance trend. The dance position is casual and relaxed,
