About Salsa
 Salsa refers to a fusion of informal dance styles having
roots in the Caribbean (especially Cuba), Latin America
and North America. Salsa is danced to Salsa music.
There is a strong African influence in the music and
the dance.
Salsa is usually a partner dance, although there
are recognized solo steps and some forms are danced
in groups of couples, with frequent exchanges of partner.
Improvisation and social dancing are important elements
of Salsa but it appears as a performance dance too.
Salsa Dance
Salsa is danced on a core rhythm that lasts for two
measures of four beats each. The basic step typically
uses three steps each measure. This pattern might
be quick-quick-slow, taking two beats to gradually
transfer the weight, or quick-quick-quick allowing
a tap or other embellishment on the vacant beat. This
is not to say that the steps are always on beats 1,
2 and 3 of the measure. It is conventional in salsa
for the two musical measures to be considered as one,
so the count goes from 1 to 8 over two musical bars.
Salsa Choreographer India
Our choreographers love taking dance classes in Delhi,
"...it calls for a right attitude for Learning
Salsa", says Vikas! Vikas has a hoard of people
approaching him to learn Salsa in Delhi and many a
times the choreography had to be called off as the
audience / learners usually turn out to be very stiff...
