Salsa! it's a Modern Street Latin Dance Style
Salsa is first & foremost a social dance style, except for competitions & performances.
In the 'streets', Latin Dances such as Salsa, Cha, Bachata & Kizomba are completely Improvised / Freestyle Street Dance, meaning it's 'not choreographed' It's a lead & follow dance and is constantly evolving with other modern dance styles being added. There are also many styles of Salsa around the world but you can dance with all of them. Another big misconception is Salsa or Latin dance are 'Ballroom dances', these are recreations of orginal dances which orginated in England. Salsa is very different in that its origins are Hispanic and its a true street dance with unique flavour "Sabor"
