Some of us like it spicy, and that surely explains why salsa lessons are so popular today. Salsa is an exciting, energetic form of Latin dancing that everyone can relate to. Its roots date back over 100 years to Cuba and a few other Caribbean islands.

However, it wasn't long before the sizzle of Salsa spread to new places. Today, Salsa is the national music of Puerto Rico and has a strong presence in many locales around the country, particularly where there is a strong Latin and Puerto Rican presence, such as in New York City.

Salsa music stems from Son Cubano music, which began springing up at the turn of the 20th century. By the 1920s and 1930s, the flair and energy of Latin music was taking root across the United States. It began being played on the radio, being used in movies and captivating crowds at clubs and shows.

By the 1940s and 1950s there was a huge Latin Jazz movement and many different styles of music and dancing were beginning to merge under one roof. That roof was Salsa, and it has been a mainstay ever since. The term itself was coined later, in the early 1960s.

Salsa dancing incorporates a "quick-quick-slow" clave, or rhythm. Combining two four-beat bars together you end up with a pattern of "step-step-hold, step-step-hold", with each step lasting for a beat and each hold taking up two beats. Salsa music can range from 150 beats per minute to over 250 bpm, with most dancing being done to music in the 180 bpm range.
