Salsa Dancing

Although salsa dancing originated in 1970s New York, it has heavy Latino influences. Traditional salsa outfits usually include short flowing skirts or form fitting materials. This helps show the flowing body movements, that tend to centralize on the hips.

What is the tempo for salsa music?

Tango has many different rhythms. American tango uses a simplified set rhythm in what is called the basic step: Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick Slow.

There are various "advanced patterns" in American Tango that use different fixed rhythms, for example:

Slow,Slow, Quick Quick --- Slow, Slow Quick, Quick Slow

Slow, Slow Quick, Quick, Quick Slow

Quick,Quick,Quick,Quick, Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick Slow

Argentine tango is very flexible and has no set rhythm at all. The leader is free to improvise and dance any rhythm that fits the music. He can suddenly pause and hold a position for dramatic effect. Leader and follower need not even dance the same rhythm! Often the follower will be dancing all slows and the leader will do a double time step. In Argentine tango the leader may be stepping with the left foot while the follower also steps with the left foot. In American tango, this is usually considered incorrect unless the leader is dancing side-by-side (facing the same direction as the follower)

Salsa dance is not only Cuban yet we must credit cuba for salsa dance.It is here where Contra-Danze (Country Dance) of England/France, later called Danzón, which was brought by the French who fled from Haiti, begins to mix itself with Rhumbas of African origin (Guaguanco, Colombia, Yambú). Add Són of the Cuban people, which was a mixture of the Spanish troubadour (sonero) and the African drumbeats and flavora and a partner dance flowered to the beat of the clave. Therefore creating salsa dance.
