The dance is originated mainly in the USA and the Caribbean. In the meantime, Salsa is known worldwide and is especially popular because it is a lively, relaxed and sometimes very sensual dance, which can be learned relatively quickly in its basic steps. Like many other Latin American dances, Salsa is danced in 4\/4 time, but is slower in tempo than other styles. Table of Contents History of origin Music Salsa dance styles Description of dancing Salsa Worth mentioning about dancing Salsa History of origin To describe the history of the origin of Salsa, it is almost enough to explain how the name came about and what it means. Salsa means sauce in Spanish and was introduced as a term when many Caribbean immigrants in the USA mixed their dances and music. The dance is therefore a mixture of many other dances, such as Mambo or Cha Cha Cha and stands like no other for the importance of dancing for community, attitude to life and cheerfulness. Worldwide Spread Over the time Salsa has developed further and further and above all to an independent dance. Dancers and musicians spread the new dance all over the world over the years and today Salsa has American and Caribbean as well as African and European influences. Music As already described, the mixing of different rhythms and movements created not only salsa as a dance, but also as a music style. This music can undoubtedly be described as very rhythmic and peppy due to its Latin American influences, and the speed has increased significantly over the years. What has also changed are the instruments and the compositions of the salsa bands. Besides the singer, a piano and a bass, mainly brass instruments are used. The lyrics are mainly about life and love, but also about problems and crises. Salsa dance styles Over the years, many different styles of Salsa have developed, which have been influenced mainly by the different regions in which they originated. However, it must be said that they are not very different from each other, but very similar. New York Style This style was developed, hardly surprisingly, in New York, when Salsa became more and more popular in the city. The New York Style is characterized by very elegant and feminine movements and is a mixture of Cuban and Puerto Rican styles. Mambo Style The Mambo Style is a subcategory of the New York Style and was created a few years after it. It is a further development of the style, but at the same time it uses the very original basics of Salsa. Puerto Rican Style This style is also named after its place of origin and is danced very openly compared to the other styles. This means that the dance partners take more space for themselves and act in a larger radius. LA Style The LA Style, i.e. the Los Angeles Style, is a very dynamic and fast-paced version of Salsa, which is mainly used as a show dance because of its numerous figures. Due to its tempo and its extraordinary elements, this style is also very popular with all other dancers. Cuban Style The Cuban style of salsa is probably the most widespread form of dance and is called the classical style. It is very different from other styles because it is not danced in a line, but rather in a circle. Cumbia Style This style is a version of salsa that incorporates many influences of cumbia columbiana. The Cumbia Style is mainly spread in South America and is a classic dance from the street, which is rarely taught in dance schools. The leadership of the man is of great importance in this style and more pronounced than in other styles. Rueda de Casino This style is actually a dance in its own right, danced only to Salsa music. Translated, Rueda de Casino means Salsa Wheel. Rueda de Casino or also Salsa Rueda is a group dance, which is danced by 10 to 20 persons synchronously in a circle, whereby a predancer prescribes the figures and movements. Cali Style Cali Style is named after a Colombian city of the same name and includes many fast movements and acrobatic figures. It is mainly known in Colombia and is rarely danced in other countries. Description of dancing Salsa Salsa is a very cheerful and erotic dance, which includes especially many movements below the hips. Compared to other dances, the partners have a lot of freedom and do not touch each other all the time. Basic Steps In the classical basic form of salsa, the number of steps is counted up to eight. Only on the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 a step is executed. On 4 and on 8 the dancer takes a break. It should be noted that basically each style has its own peculiarities, so that in NY Style, for example, there is a pause at one and five. However, the steps are almost always performed on a line back and forth. Further Steps As already mentioned, the Cuban style of salsa is not danced classically on one line, but in a circle. In this style, but also in others, many dancers also use the pauses in counting for a tap. Figures Because of the many different variations of Salsa, there are also many different figures. So many that it is impossible to list them all here. Especially characteristic are the so-called shines, where the partners dance alone in a solo and then find their way back. These shines are often complemented by brincos, i.e. jumps, or pasos, i.e. special step sequences. . Worth mentioning about dancing Salsa There are many people who say that the name Salsa does not have its origin in the mixing of different cultures. They believe that the dance was called salsa because it is as fiery and spicy as the salsa sauce that is served with nachos, for example.\",\r\n\"datePublished\": \"2022-09-27T08:00:00+08:00\",\r\n\"dateModified\": \"2023-04-27T09:20:00+08:00\",\r\n\"author\": {\r\n\"@type\": \"Person\",\r\n\"name\": \"Danceflavors\",\r\n\"url\": \"https:\/\/www.danceflavors.com\/\"\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6898dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c6898dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Salsa Dancing \ud83d\udd7a\u200a\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffb\ud83c\udfb5<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa45866 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa45866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Salsa dancing is possible as a<strong> couple or solo.<\/strong> The dance is <strong>originated mainly in the USA and the Caribbean.<\/strong> In the meantime, Salsa is known worldwide and is especially popular because it is a<strong> lively, relaxed and sometimes very sensual dance,<\/strong> which can be<strong> learned relatively quickly in its basic steps.<\/strong> Like many other Latin American dances, Salsa is danced in<strong> 4\/4 time,<\/strong> but is slower in tempo than other styles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3037b75 elementor-toc--minimized-on-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"3037b75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;numbers&quot;,&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;minimize_box&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;minimized_on&quot;:&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of Contents\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--expand\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__3037b75\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Open table of contents\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--collapse\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__3037b75\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Close table of contents\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__3037b75\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dc8488 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3dc8488\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">History of origin<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-716c710 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"716c710\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo describe the history of the origin of Salsa, it is almost enough to explain how the name came about and what it means. <strong>Salsa means sauce in Spanish<\/strong> and was introduced as a term when many Caribbean immigrants in the USA <strong>mixed their dances and music<\/strong>.
