Wellbeing A-Z -Salsa

Salsa is a vibrant dance form with roots in the African Caribbean community, primarily developed in Cuba and popularized in New York. It combines elements of French danceon, African rumba, Spanish troubadour, and African drum beats. The name 'Salsa' reflects its diverse cultural origins. The dance is as much about the music as the movement, with African slaves historically using drum beats to uplift spirits. Salsa dancing involves a 3-step pattern to a 4-beat measure, typically performed at 140 beats per minute.
