As salsa spread out from Cuba went to the rest of the Caribbean, South America and to the heavily Latin communities in America a wide range of salsa dance styles started to form in specific regions. There is the Cuban-Style Casino salsa dance that developed over the middle of the 20th century and has a heavier Afro-Cuban rhumba influence. Considered to be the original salsa, the style has since spread all over the world and is considered an important part of Latin-American culture and heritage. While the salsa dance became extremely popular in South America, Columbia took the most love for it and created their own style, the Cali-Style Salsa. The style is named after the city of Cali, which is known as the capital of salsa. The style is more relaxed with very intricate footwork compared to other styles. In America the three main styles of salsa are the New York style, Miami style and the L.A. style. The American styles are all more extravagant than South American styles of the dance, featuring more twists and has acrobatic aerial moves in it. 2. Notable Practitioners -
