New York created the term ‘Salsa’, but it did not create the dance. The
term became popular as nickname to refer to a variety of different
music from several countries of Hispanic influence. Salsa is a
distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances.
It is not only Cuban; nevertheless we must give credit to Cuba for the
origin and ancestry of creation. It is here where Contra-Danze
(Country Dance) of England/France, later called Danzon, which was
brought by the French who fled from Haiti, begins to mix itself with
Rhumbas of African origin.
Salsa is quite similar to Mambo in the sense that both have a pattern
of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many
of the moves. But their overall look and feel is quite different from
each other. Mambo moves generally forward and backward, whereas
Salsa has more of a side to side feel.
