Salsa is a dance for Salsa music invented by Spanish-speaking people from the Caribbean and their communities in the US. Salsa dancing mixes African and European dance influences through the music and dance fusions that are the roots of Salsa: Son, Guaguancó, Rumba, Boogaloo, Pachanga, Guaracha, Plena, Bomba.
The Salsa dance is normally a partner dance, although there are recognized solo forms, line dancing (suelta) and Rueda de Casino where groups of two people exchange partners in a circle. Salsa can be improvised or performed with a set routine.
The name of the dance – “Salsa” is the Spanish word for sauce, connoting (in American Spanish) a spicy flavor. Salsa also suggests a “mixture” of ingredients, though this meaning is not found in most stories of the term’s origin.
