What is Salsa Dancing?

Salsa dancing is a dance style associated with the salsa style of music now popular worldwide. Salsa music has its origins sometime in the 1950s to 1970s, with the truly distinct salsa style coming out of New York in the 1970s. The music fuses a number of Cuban styles, particularly the son, but also draws from a number of other Latin American musical styles.

Salsa dancing is done on eight-beat music, with dancers moving on three beats, pausing for one beat, dancing for three beats, and pausing for one beat. Salsa dancing is mostly a stationary dance, with little movement around the dance floor. Instead, dancers rely on the subtle movement of their legs and upper bodies to convey the energy of the dance.

In addition to the partnered movements of salsa dancing, dancers may integrate solo breaks known as shines into their routines. These are a way for salsa dancers to take a breather from an exhausting routine, or to gather themselves if their rhythm is broken. Shines involve lots of ornate movements and demonstrations of the body, and are intended as a way for a dancer to show off their full talent. While shines are in theory improvisational, there are many standard shines which dancers learn and can fall back on.

Salsa dancing is incredibly popular throughout Latin America and North America, and is gaining popularity in Europe and elsewhere. Many clubs specialize in salsa music and most cities offer classes in salsa dancing. While not the easiest dance form, because of its high tempo, it is not particularly difficult, and dancers of all skill levels should be able to gain proficiency within a matter of months.

What is Belly Dancing...

To most, belly dancing conjures up a picture of an elaborately costumed Middle Eastern woman, with midriff exposed, dancing a very sensual dance. While this form of belly dancing exists, common misconceptions must be dispelled. Belly dancing is not simply one form and type of dance. The moves in belly dancing vary in different countries. However, virtually all belly dancing involves isolated movements of muscle groups. Naturally, the abdomen movement is most famous, however, isolation of arms and legs may also be employed. Dances can be elaborately choreographed or freeform.
