Are you experiencing disturbing, salsa-related thoughts? Do you feel like the rhythm is in your blood. Do you wake up in the morning to it and you can fall asleep with the beat of the drums. When you’re down there’s salsa, when you’re up, dance more and more salsa. When you get in your car and hear your favorite salsa song, isn't the ride more exciting? Each time you go for a trip, aren't you checking new salsa clubs? Are you getting carpal tunnel syndrome from checking salsa videos, galleries and blogs? Are you at once totally sick of dancing and insatiably hungry for more?

    She says, "Well actually, my husband and I used go dancing at different clubs several days a week. Unfortunately, he died and this is the first time I've gone out without him".

Salsa is not easily defined. Who invented salsa? The Cubans, Puerto Ricans? Salsa is a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. Each played a large part in its evolution.

Salsa is similar to Mambo in that both have a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many of the same moves. In Salsa, turns have become an important feature, so the overall look and feel are quite different form those of Mambo. Mambo moves generally forward and backward, whereas, Salsa has more of a side to side feel.
