Content: Why is salsa dancing popular? Why is it much more popular than other dances (e.g. when I tell someone I dance bachata, they usually have no idea what bachata is, with salsa they always know even if they have never seen it)? Is it actually more popular or is it just my subjective feeling based on my limited experience? Why don't we all just dance AT, swing or something completely different? Does it have something with the culture that is more welcoming? Is there something particular about latin culture, that makes salsa prevalent over other afro-latin dances? Is salsa more popular (in e.g. Europe) because it is different from the traditional classic dances danced in Europe and thus rebellious, exotic and sexy? Or does it just have better marketing? I'm interested in any kind of opinions ranging from strictly objective based on historical facts as well as subjective personal opinions (e.g. because i like it). Sabrosura

The question (for me) isn't "why Latin dancing ", it's "why Latin music ".
