Salsa is a unique New York phenomenon.
Musicians from all over the Caribbean and Latin America, the Far East and Europe have joined the mixture we call Salsa. But it's the New York Puerto Ricans who have elevated the dance and the music to a higher level of performance and social art. Salsa, the dance, is an integration of Mambo, Rhumba, Jazz, Bomba, the turn patterns from the Hustle, and most importantly, your own personal style. Dance schools from North America to Australia are all joining in to create their own Salsa. Salsa is not easily defined.
