Salsa Dance Class: Immerse yourself in the vibrant and rhythmic world of salsa with our dynamic dance class. Originating in the lively streets of New York in the 1960s, salsa is a fusion of Cuban dance music, like Son and Rumba, and American influences such as swing and tap. This class will not only teach you the fundamental steps and techniques of salsa but also delve into the rich cultural history that shaped this energetic dance form. From its roots in Cuba, where the influence of Latin American rhythms met American creativity, to the emergence of distinct styles like Cuban and Colombian salsa, our class explores the global journey of salsa. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, join us as we celebrate the universal appeal of salsa, a dance that has captivated hearts and moved feet across continents, from New York to Benin and Ghana. Get ready to step into the rhythm and embrace the passion of salsa!
