what is salsa and where can i learn it in delhi?

Answer 1

Salsa is a partner dance form that corresponds to salsa music, however it is sometimes done solo too. The word is the same as the Spanish word salsa meaning sauce, or in this case flavour or style.

According to testimonials from musicologists and historians of music, the name salsa was gradually accepted among dancers throughout various decades. The very first time the word appeared on the radio was a composition by Ignacio Piñeiro, dedicated to an old African man who sold butifarras (a sausage-like product) in Central Road in Matanzas. It is a song titled Échale salsita, wherein the major refrain and chorus goes "Salsaaaaa! échale salsita, échale salsita." During the early 1950s, commentator and DJ "bigote" Escalona announced danceables with the title: "the following rhythm contains Salsa." Finally, the Spanish-speaking population of the New York area baptized Celia Cruz as the "Queen of Salsa."

Salsa is danced on music with a recurring eight-beat pattern, i.e. two bars of four beats. Salsa patterns typically use three steps during each four beats, one beat being skipped. However, this skipped beat is often marked by a tap, a kick, a flick, etc. Typically the music involves complicated percussion rhythms and is fast with around 180 beats per minute (see salsa music for more).

Salsa is a slot or spot dance, i.e., unlike Foxtrot or Samba, in Salsa a couple does not travel over the dance floor much, but rather occupies a fixed area on the dance floor. In some cases people do the Salsa in solo mode.

Salsa is a type of Latin dance. It's very popular in South America (as well as in Japan!). It is very fun, sensual, and usually requires a partner (although you may dance it alone if you wish). I don't know exactly where Delhi is, but most gyms nowadays offer "Salsa Aerobics". You may want to inquire at your local gym if they offer this type of aerobics. You will be surprised at the fact that you can actually learn the basic steps for salsa in an aerobics class. You may also want to go to a Latin Dance club and you just may come across a gentleman who will be more than willing to teach you. Good Luck and have fun.
