Latin Dance

Every Thursday Flagstaff Latin Dance Collective offers Salsa 101 FUNdamentals and Salsa 202 for Intermediate/Advanced dancers.

Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in New York with strong influences from Latin America, particularly Cuba and Puerto Rico. The movements of salsa have its origins in Cuban Son, Cha cha cha, Mambo and other dance forms, and the dance, along with the music, originated in the mid-1970s in New York. It is commonly danced to salsa music, although the steps can be danced to any type of music with an 8-count rhythm.
