Salsa

Full of rhythm, energy, and a touch of flair, Salsa is a dance that embodies pure joy. With roots in Cuban Son and Afro-Cuban Rumba, Salsa has evolved into a dynamic and expressive art form loved worldwide. This captivating dance is always changing, influenced by the cultures and regions where it grows. Popular styles include Cuban, Colombian, Los Angeles, New York (also known as Eddie Torres Style), Palladium, Puerto Rican, Rueda, and On Clave—each with its unique vibe. No matter the style, Salsa is all about connection, movement, and having fun.

In the early 1970s, Salsa fever hit New York City, and dance studios were quick to embrace its growing popularity. Franchised and independent studios alike developed structured teaching methods to bring this electrifying dance to eager learners. At Fred Astaire Dance Studios, we’ve built on this foundation by teaching Salsa with a focus on Mambo-inspired patterns, danced on the “one.” This approach makes it accessible, while still capturing the vibrant energy and unique rhythm that makes Salsa so irresistible.
