Salsa

Salsa is a syncretic dance genre created by Spanish-speaking people from Cuba.

Dancing: the vertical expression

On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.

Merengue

Light quirks of music, broken and uneven,Make the soul dance upon a jig to Heav'n.

Bollywood Masala

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.

Street Dance

Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.

Dancing is just discovery

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.
