  2. Hey Toe’umu,

    Wow! Thanks for sharing that video, the salsa is such a passionate and high energy dance. I wonder how long it takes to become that good at dancing the salsa.. You’ve shared three great facts that helped me gather a bit of background knowledge about the salsas origins. Perhaps next time you could post a salsa tutorial video for beginners, I’m sure readers would love to give it a go!

    My favourite style of dance is Hip-Hop because it is so versatile and you can incorporate lots of other dance styles into it. It is such a joy to watch all the cool movements that choreographers come up with. What is your favourite style of dance?

    Toe feiloa’i fo’i,

    Cia.
