Dance Styles - Salsa (Street Latin)


​Welcome to Salsa, one of the most popular Latin dance styles in Australia.
  • Originating in Cuba, there are many forms of Salsa including Salsa on 1, Salsa on 2, Colombian Salsa, Cuban Salsa, LA Style Salsa, etc.
  • Cuban Salsa is circular in movement, whilst LA Style is linear. 
  • At BoogieCamp, we teach Salsa on 1 with primarily linear Salsa steps.
