Salsa
Salsa is a lively and energetic partner dance with roots in Cuban and Afro-Caribbean music. Known for its exciting rhythms, turns and social atmosphere, Salsa is danced around the world and is a great way to connect with the music and other dancers.
Bachata
Bachata originated in the Dominican Republic and is known for its beautiful music, rhythmic movement and partner connection. Today, Bachata has become one of the most popular Latin social dances around the world.
Cumbia
Cumbia originated in Colombia and has developed into many different styles throughout Latin America. Its flowing rhythm, relaxed feel and approachable steps make it a favorite at parties and Latin social dance events.
Cha-Cha-Cha
Cha-Cha-Cha is a fun Cuban dance known for its playful rhythm, syncopated steps and connection to Latin music. At Salseros, we focus on the social and nightclub style of Cha-Cha-Cha—the style you can enjoy naturally at Latin clubs and social dance events rather than ballroom-style Cha-Cha.
Merengue
Merengue is a lively dance from the Dominican Republic. Its easy-to-follow rhythm, playful turns and energetic music make it one of the most approachable Latin dances and a favorite at parties and social dance events.
