Salsa dance is a popular Latin-American dance style that originated in the 1960s in New York City. It is a lively, energetic, and rhythmic dance form that combines elements of Afro-Cuban dances, such as Son, Mambo, and Cha-cha-cha, with influences from various other dance styles like jazz, swing, and rock. Salsa dance is typically performed with a partner, although solo performances and group choreographies are also common. It is characterized by fast-paced footwork, intricate turn patterns, and syncopated movements that are performed in response to the rhythmic beats of salsa music. Salsa dance is known for its passionate and social nature, often being danced in nightclubs, parties, and social gatherings.
