Salsa is both a dance and a musical genre. Its musical roots are nourished by several influences - Mambo, Guaracha or Bomba - and African rhythms, hence the name “salsa” (sauce, in Spanish) to express the idea of mixing. Salsa is danced in pairs, the boy guiding the girl, their steps mirroring each other: when the man advances his right foot, his date advances her left foot. The Salsa dancer is called “salsero,” the dancer, “salsera.” Puerto Rican Salsa can be influenced by other dances such as Hip-Hop, Rock or even classical dance. In Europe, Salsa arrived in the 90s and quickly enjoyed great success.
