What is Colombian Salsa? Imma give this one to my partner over here Marcus. Hey. Well basically Colombian style salsa. Salsa's not a music that is native to Columbia. It's become very popular as of late. What happened is a lot of Cuban bands touring in Columbia brought their style of salsa and Colombians made it their own. Basically the way they dance, they're dance on the one beat so their dancing along with the music. They're not necessarily as dictated by the music as we are. And you'll find a lot of times that when their grabbing their partner they're dancing with her, holding her here. And it's just very bouncy and it's very different to what you'll normally see in New York. That's Colombian style salsa.
