Steps borrowed from different Latin dances such as cha-cha-cha, samba, rumba, mambo and others brought Latino flavor to the dance. Sexy hip swings, complex foot kicking and tapping exhibitions and the sensual caressing like dancing created salsa's own identity as the melting pot of Latin dances.

The hot and sexy flavor of salsa is vigor on a dance floor. Each passionate movement timed to a beat and rhythm of Latin jazz music can turn on people's mode for romance.
