Salsa is the most popular form of club dancing al over the world.
Salsa's roots are based on the Son dancing (circa 1920s) and are open to improvisation and thus it is continuously evolving.
The basic Salsa styles are:
1. Latin American Styles: "Miami" style which is a fusion of Cuban style and North American version. The styles include "Casino", Miami-Style, Cali-style and Venezuelan Style.
2. North American Salsa: Two major types of Salsa with distinct tempo differences; Los Angeles Style which breaks on the first beat "On 1" and New York Style which breaks on the second beat "On 2".
Salsa is normally a partner dance, although there are recognized solo forms such as solo dancing called as "Shines"
Salsa can be improvised or performed with a set routine.
The tempo of the salsa music is generally between 180 to 210 beats per minute. (Bpm)
Salsa Costumes-
Salsa costumes are particularly known for their flexibility and comfort, which go hand in hand with elegance and style. They are usually full of embroidery work, with sequins hanging around their sleeves and have layers at the ends. These patterns are common for male and female costumes which also have to be coordinated for a performance.
For Women-
There are patterns like crimped halters, one shoulder sleeved dresses, full length and half length V sloped dresses, O ringed halter, mesh skirts, tango dresses and ruffle dresses for ladies and they are available in regular and professional types. The dance costumes for competitions are brightly colored and very rich in sequin work and embroidery.
For Men-
Since salsa originated in Cuba and then Puerto Rico, the male costumes have a traditional touch even today. Thus, traditional Mexican clothes and costumes for men include shirts which are usually full sleeved, silk shirts in colors like yellow, red, black, purple and white, etc. and the pants are simple black or dark brown, made from fitting materials.
