CUMBIA CRASH COURSE THU MAY 1ST 7PM
LEARN TO DANCE SALSA IN HOUSTON / PEARLAND / SURROUNDING AREAS!
WHAT IS SALSA
Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in New York City with strong influences from Latin America, particularly Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. The movements of salsa have origins in Cuban Son, Cha-cha-cha, Mambo, Guaguancó, Rumba, Boogaloo, Pachanga, Guaracha, Plena, and other dance forms, and the dance, along with the salsa music, originated in the mid-1970s in New York. Today Salsa is a very modern dance that is influenced by other up to date styles of dancing.
Salsa provides a means to connect with others. So if you want to widen your social circle or expand your business network, Salsa might just be for you. Swinging hips and an eclectic mix of happy people dominate the extremely social and convivial atmosphere in Salsa clubs. Everyone is having an enjoyable time and contacts are naturally made faster than anywhere else.
