About Salsa

Cuban Salsa, as the name suggests, originally comes from Cuba. On the whole, Salsa is a traditional dance from Africa, India and Spain, but there are two main types of Salsa: Cuban Salsa and New York Salsa.

In brief, the main difference between the two versions is that Cuban Salsa has 4 beats by 4 beats and New York Salsa has 4 beats by 3 beats.

Florentin and the Darwen Cuban Salsa Group participate and teach the Cuban form of Salsa.

So, what are you waiting for?

Attending one of our lessons is a great way to keep fit, meet new people and learn how to dance.
