SALSA (CASINO & RUEDA) -  Cuban style Salsa is the style that is most like the Salsa done in Cuba, where the dance has its roots. Cuban style dancers don't tend to do fast, multiple spins. In addition, the movement of the partners in this style tends to be circular as opposed to linear. When Cuban moves are danced by one couple on the dance floor, that is referred to as Cuban Style.  If those moves are done by a group in a circle, that is referred to as Rueda de Casino.

BACHATA - Bachata is a romantic Latin dance with origins from the Dominican Republic, which is now danced all over the world.  Unlike salsa, bachata dance does not usually include many turn patterns. The original, slow style in the '60s was danced only in closed position, like the bolero, often in close embrace. The bachata basic steps is done by moving within a small square (side, side, forward and side, side, back) and is inspired from the bolero step but evolved to including a tap and also syncopation (steps in between the beats) depending on the dynamics of the music being played. The hand placement can vary according to the position of the dances, which can range from very close to open to completely open.

MERENGUE - Merengue is a popular dance of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and is a truly lively Latin dance. There is an old tale about a very brave and famous military officer who was wounded in battle and developed a limp. A celebration dance was given for the great hero returning from the war. Rather than embarrass their hero, who limped on his wounded leg while dancing, all the men present favored their leg as well, & thus the Merengue was born.

​KIZOMBA - Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance originating in Angola. Unlike semba, kizomba music is characterized by a slower and usually very romantic rhythm. Kizomba music was born in late-1970s Africa. On this basis, kizomba music emerged as a more modern music genre with a sensual touch mixed with African rhythm and Haitian Kompa. 

SALSA L.A. (on One) - Salsa Los Angeles. This style is fast, sharp, and eye-catching.  It often includes what Salsa dancers call "tricks" (i.e. acrobatics).  In addition, L. A. dancers do a lot of their movements linearly, staying in a "slot."  L. A. style is generally danced "on 1" which means you change direction in the basic step on beat 1.  Here is a video clip of some top notch dancers doing LA style salsa
