The Salsa India Festival was concluded just a few days ago in Mumbai.
As a dance form, Salsa originates from Cuba and is a fusion of traditional Cuban dances like the Mambo and the Danzon; it is also inspired by traditional African and Caribbean movements.
It is primarily a couple's dance, although both solo and group performances are not uncommon, the latter including a frequent switching of partners.
The Salsa India Festival celebrated not only this dance form but also several others from across the globe. Check out these awe-inspiring dance performances at the event, by professional dancers from India and abroad!
To start off with we have dance duo Taiti and Crystel from Amsterdam, who have been performing together since 2005. Watch them set the stage on fire with their hot moves!
