Welcome to the home of Salsa, Merengue and Bachata Latin Rhythms. Where the fun is.
What is .....sal·sa / ˈsälsə/
• n. 1. a type of Latin American dance music incorporating elements of jazz and rock.∎ a dance performed to this music. 2. (esp. in Latin American cooking) a spicy tomato sauce
At Salsa and Sonrisa, salsa is definitely not a sauce, but a fusion of Latin rhythms in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.
So whether you have two left feet, are introvert, extrovert, young or old it is a great way to meet people and keep fit without even trying.
