Dance your way to good health
|
The history of the popular Latin music and dance widely known as “salsa” began in the islands of the Spanish Caribbean, in a context of slavery and colonialism. Yet, it is inextricably tied to twentieth-century New York City and the growth of a thriving Latino community there.
The music once identified by specific forms and styles is now clubbed under the title, ‘salsa’. The tag gained wide acceptance after “Fania” Records (the most influential record label in the field) adopted it to describe the New York music label produced.
Salsa is usually danced with a partner present, although there are recognized solo forms too, such as the solo dancing "suelta”.
Today many various styles of salsa dancing have been evolved because of geographical dispersion and cultural syncretism. The most well-known styles are the Cali-style (from Colombia), Cuban-style ("Casino"), LA-style, New York-style and Puerto Rican-style.
Salsa lessons are a great way to exercise. Taking Salsa lessons is a unique form of exercise because it provides wholesome benefits of an aerobic exercise while at the same time allowing you to participate in an enjoyable social activity.
Advantages of Salsa lessons:
• Builds endurance and stamina
• Burns a lot of calories and helps in losing weight (Salsa Dancing on average Burns off 420+ calories/hour).
• Salsa lessons are more effective than bike rides or swimming as exercises
• Relieves stress
• By taking Salsa lessons, you learn an enjoyable form of dancing
• Salsa does help you feel good about yourself and your body and helps tone your figure

But if Salsa lessons alone are not enough, you might be interested in a physical fitness system with a specialized form of exercise called ‘Pilates’.
Pilates was a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by legendary physical trainer, Joseph Pilates from Germany. It can be performed on a mat or with specialized equipment.
The Pilates method seeks to develop controlled movement from a strong core and it does this using a range of apparatuses to guide and train the body.
