The Latin Quarter – Salsa

The Salsa dance witnessed today takes its origins from group of young Puerto Ricans in 1970s New York!  The term Salsa in describing the dance style as we know it, was thought to be coined by Izzy “Mr Salsa” Sanabria. Salsa, in Latin terminology, means a sauce and it is used by audiences to describe music played with fire and passion i.e. “They’re cooking!”

Salsa is a 6 step dance counted over 8 beats with an incredible worldwide following. The music is Afro-Cuban in origin and when taken together with Indian and European influences, and then transported to the US to be mixed with Jazz and brass, it takes on the many forms today that are bundled up as Salsa.
