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!
