Content: 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 ". There would be no dancing without the music. So, to answer your question: I dance salsa (and other Latin dances) because I love the music; I have always loved it. As for why I love Latin music and dancing, I've discussed this before in a few different contexts.
