This is one of the most popular social dances in New York nowadays, as there are plenty of Latin clubs, and plenty of great Latin dancers! The cutting edge of development for Salsa music is in NYC and Florida, both areas with large Latin communities.

Salsa works on the basis of Mambo – a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. At this school, we call it Salsa if the pattern of steps begins on the “one” beat of the music, and Mambo if it starts on the “two” beat. Salsa is a more contemporary name for the same step pattern, and came about when dancers started mixing up Mambo with Hustle steps.

Mambo is the dance that came to popular attention in the ’40s, as Americans became fascinated with the exciting rhythms emanating from Latin countries, like Cuba. For the mood of Mambo, just think Havana in its heyday, and the famous Palladium dancers of NYC in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.

Shines refer to the fancy steps that partners do when they break away from each other to dance separately. Our Shines classes offer a great opportunity to students to really familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the music, and learn how to move creatively, or “play” with steps within the rhythm of the music.
