Cuban salsa — casino — is danced in couples and in a circle. Every article I have written about this dance is gathered here, with the figures explained step by step.
Born in the 1950s in Cuba, salsa dancing is one of the most popular Latin dances worldwide. With influences from Africa and Spain, it features circular movements, unlike Puerto Rican salsa (salsa in line). It’s said that if you can walk, you can dance Cuban salsa! It’s essentially a walk, an alternation of steps, open and closed positions, where seduction and interaction between dancers play a central role, all within a joyful atmosphere. While it’s easy to find a Latin dance school nearby offering Latin dance classes, here we will teach you tips, tricks, advice, and information to improve your dancing, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer. Join us to dance salsa to the rhythm of this joyful music genre.
