Salsa is more than a dance
It’s a history, a sound, a shared language that spans continents.
It was born in the streets of Cuba, shaped by African drums, Spanish melodies, and the spirit of community. Over time, it traveled: to New York, to Colombia, to the world. And like every living culture, it changed as it moved.
But its heart? It stayed the same.
At Salsa te Gusta, we’re proud to dance a style rooted in Cuban tradition. The kind that values joy over perfection, connection over performance. The kind that lets you feel the music with your full self.
In Amsterdam, salsa found a new home. From smoky underground parties in the ’90s to today’s vibrant socials and classes, the scene here is alive, because people keep showing up to dance, to learn, to share.
Understanding where salsa comes from isn’t just about history.
- It’s about dancing with respect.
- With rhythm.
- With gratitude.
