As we all know, the popularity of Salsa is just phenomenal! But how did it all come about, Salsa music and Salsa dancing? Where did it originate and how did it actually become the dance we dance today?!

Have look, learn and educate yourself more about how the intoxicating rhythm of Salsa dancing came about!
