Salsa is an Afro-Latin social dance with its roots from Central and South America; mainly Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. Salsa literally means "sauce" and the dance was given that name because its roots come from a mix of Afro-Latin traditional partner dances such as Bolero, Cha Cha Cha, Son, Guaracha, and Boogaloo. Modern day Salsa dancing in the world today is most recognizable in its three main styles: Casino (Salsa Cubano), L.A. "On1" style, and New York "On2/Mambo" style.
