Salsa is more than a collection of steps. It is the result of centuries of cultural exchange, migration, music, and social evolution. This workshop explores the historical development of salsa, tracing its influences from African and European traditions through the Caribbean and into the vibrant salsa scenes of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and New York. Participants will discover how different styles, rhythms, and movements emerged, and why they continue to vary across regions and generations. By connecting the music to the dance, the workshop provides context for the techniques commonly taught today, helping dancers understand not only how to move, but why those movements exist. Through a combination of historical insights, musical analysis, and practical demonstrations, participants will gain a deeper appreciation of salsa's rich heritage and the cultural influences that shaped its evolution. Whether you are new to salsa or an experienced dancer, this workshop offers valuable perspective that will enrich your understanding, musicality, and connection to the dance.
