Salsa is the epitome of a Latin beat. If you can count to 8 then you can dance salsa. First start listening to Salsa music for the classic 4/4 rhythm. Count the beats until you can identify a set of two 4 beat rhythms.

Salsa involves a pair of dancers who intricately moves their arms and legs. This dance is very prominent to the majority of the population. A beat is skipped in the usual four-beat form using three steps in making salsa patterns. The name of the dance came from the Spanish word "salsa" which means sauce in English. This is because of the dance moves and techniques involved in salsa, which would be described as pungent and passionate.
