About Salsa:

Salsa is a dance for Salsa music created by Spanish-speaking people from the Caribbean.

Salsa dancing mixes African and European dance influences through the music and dance fusions that are the roots of Salsa: Essentially Cuban Son, but also with influences from Guaguancó, Rumba, Boogaloo, Pachanga, Guaracha, Plena, and 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 performed with a set routine.
