What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
Linear Salsa is a hybrid dance that comes from Mambo (a Cuban style that was popularized in the 1950’s NYC Palladium). NY Mambo is a marriage of footwork and partner-work from Cuba (Aftro-Cuban movements, Cuban Son) and the U.S. (Jazz, Swing). Salsa is a marketing term popularized in the 1970’s to commodify all Latin music and dance to a U.S. audience. Circular Salsa primarily comes from the Cuban dance Casino, which itself originates from Cuban Son. Salsa is by nature transformational, multinational, and multigenerational, embodying the shared heritage of Latin music.
