Latin Dance the new sensation - black is the new black

Latin rhythms have always evoked notions of exotica and fun. 1930's band leader Xavier Cugat put Latin sound into the popular idiom, the sixties saw the Bossa nova come and go and in the nineties it was the Lambada. In the new century Latin dance is more popular than ever.

Javier Castro, the director of SV, is a Latin born Australian. He established Canberra's first Latin dance school over 10 years ago, setting the foundation for what salsa is today in the nation's capital. Javier says “The Salsa phenomenon, taking the world by storm.” He added That:
“Salsa refers to a style of music and dance witch has its origins in the Caribbean and Latin America, but which has developed all over the world, It is said Salsa is the most popular of all couple dancers and has developed into an international phenomenon which is taking the world by storm! It has become more than a casual pass time for many; it is a passionate lifestyle for millions of people all over the world, and the rate at which it is growing is amazing.”
