History of Salsa
Salsa is not easily defined. Who invented salsa? The Cubans, Puerto Ricans? Salsa is a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. Each played a large part in its evolution.
Salsa is similar to Mambo in that both have a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many of the same moves. In Salsa, turns have become an important feature, so the overall look and feel are quite different form those of Mambo. Historically Mambo moved generally forward and backward, whereas, Salsa had more of a side to side feel. Although the modern versions of Salsa and mambo are very simular. In fact the basic step in salsa is now called the Mambo step.
