SALSA

Salsa is a couple/partner dance which is based on the rule of lead-follow. The leader (on most occasions the male partner) takes the responsibility of think which steps to do and tries to convey it to the follower (on most occasions the female partner) through subtle movements and signals.

Except in performances and shows, it is spontaneous and each couple may do different moves on the same beat or music. Therefore, Salsa is not only a predefined dance but an accumulation of the atmosphere, the passion, the vibe and most importantly the subtle communication between the dancers without uttering a sound.

Salsa originated basically from Latin American countries like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia etc. However, the places like New York and Los Angeles have also contributed a lot in bringing salsa to the current state. It is normally danced on Latin songs which are in Spanish.

Salsa was introduced in Nepal one and a half decade ago and now it has developed as a popular hobby and a profession.

More recently, people have shown great interest towards this dance form by showing up in salsa classes, social parties, workshops and festivals organized by different dance schools.

The salsa circle has enabled people to break free, to make friends, interact, socialize and come together. We dance out loud and influence others to start too.

College students and other professionals traveling abroad also find it handy as it helps them to mingle with various social circles and make friends.

We repeatedly hear from our students that because of their salsa circle they are able to find jobs and make professional contacts in Nepal and abroad. Besides, passionate dancers have taken this activity professionally and the culture of traveling within the country and abroad for salsa parties, performances and training have also started taking shape.

We always admire others dancing but don’t dare to dance because we are too shy or concerned what others would say. Nobody wants to do something they are not good at.

SALSA is a simple yet, elegant and graceful dance form. It is often related to walking in a sense that anyone who can walk can do Salsa. Learning how to Salsa gives you the confidence to step on the dance floor and overcome the fear of dancing. It builds self-confidence, discipline, and concentration. It is a great hobby that also makes people social and outgoing. It gives you freedom to move, to dream with your feet and teaches you to perform as a team and to inspire others
