Professional dance room so you can check out your moves in the mirror

The space you learn to dance in is very important. The dance room at New Settlement Community Center allows for each student to keep an eye on their form while following the teachers steps. Partner work is also a lot more productive when you have a 360 degree perspective. This is one of the most popular social dances in New York nowadays, as there are plenty of Latin clubs, and plenty of great Latin dancers! The cutting edge of development for Salsa music is in NYC and Florida, both areas with large Latin communities.Salsa works on the basis of Mambo - a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. At New Settlement Community Center, we call it Salsa if the pattern of steps begins on the "one" beat of the music, and Mambo if it starts on the "two" beat. Salsa is a more contemporary name for the same step pattern, and came about when dancers started mixing up Mambo with Hustle steps.
