Salsa Dancing!


Hola!

I thought this week we would take a deeper look into Dominican dancing. Last week I showed you dance contents from a blog a women in the Dominican Republic started, so this week we will break down the three types of dances in the Dominican Republic. We will start with the salsa.

Salsa dancing is very sexual and extremely fast. It can often times be hard to get down, but with practice, I know you can do it! Salsa dancing orginated in Cuba but is now preformed all over the world. It is amazing to watch and very captivating!

Salsa is a Spanish word for "sauce," meaning spicy. People have suggested that it is called "salsa dancing" because it is a mixture of motions that are "spicy" or sexy and hot. It is usually a partner dance although in rare occasions it is preformed alone. Salsa dancing is popular throughout Latin America, but also in the United States and Europe.
Notice the photos of these salsa dancers. They are very serious yet it is still sexual.
If you are curious about how to perform the steps check out YouTube and simply type in "Salsa Dancing." They have great tutorial videos!
