Intensivdag "Salsa"

Genre: Latin Dance
Time signature: 4/4
Beats per minute: 160-220 (may vary)

Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in Cuba and Puerto Rico in the late 1890s. It is a mixture of many different styles and musical techniques that all came together in Cuba, land that was home of many of the Latin dances and music styles. After achieving popularity in Cuba, visiting musicians) carried it to the USA where they kick-started the popular age of Latin music domination that has reached our day.

New modern Salsa styles are associated with and named after the original geographic areas that developed them. In this workshop, Los Angeles Style will be performed. The Los Angeles Style ("LA" style) is danced strictly on1, in a slot or line, using elements of various North American and stage dances. It is strongly influenced by the Latin Hustle, Swing, Argentine Tango and Latin Ballroom dancing styles.

In many styles of Salsa dancing, as the dancer shifts his/her weight by stepping, the upper body keeps its level nearly unaffected by the weight change. And the weight shifts cause the hips to move. Arm and shoulder movements are also incorporated.
