Well I started dancing Salsa because I was chasing a girl. That and I lived in Spanish Harlem for 6 years. Now, the girl is long gone and I've moved away from NYC, but the Salsa stayed! But even before that, I was always dancing a lot of other dances. So I'd ask the opposite question, why do you ONLY dance Salsa? ( which I'll answer) I think it's because we need a living community in which the dance can live. Salsa as the popular dance of the day is very accessible. In my home area, the older generations (50 and above) still dance the hustle, jive, boogie & swing and other dances like they did back in the day and they make it look really fun. With that kind of living dance still alive in my local community, its very easy to absorb all those dances. Just gotta watch out for the cougars in the pack!
