music

Many people who enjoy dancing Salsa love the music traditionally played at Salsa dance events, however more and more frequently we hear that people are put off coming because they don't like the music or would prefer more variety. So at Salsa Moderna we have come up with a unique blend of music to suit a wide range of tastes. We love variety, so our music is a mix of traditional salsa tunes, with salsa-friendly Latin pop and salsa remixes of popular chart hits from the last 50 years. We mix contemporary with traditional to give a flavour of old meets new which embodies the eclectic spirit of Salsa Moderna. The one thing all the music has in common is that it makes you want to dance! We hope you enjoy our choice of music and are always open to suggestions.

If you'd like to suggest some salsa tunes for our Godalming or Farnborough dance venues please contact us!

live music

Live Salsa Music! We are lucky enough to have a group of seasoned musicians within our crew and regulars so have formed a Salsa Moderna in-house band. Our debut performance was at our Spring Salsa Party. Next performance will be advertised soon. For more info visit our Live Salsa Music page.

dancing

We dance salsa, but we love fusion so you will often see us mix elements of other dance styles (such as Tango, West Coast Swing or Ballroom) into our moves. After all, the history of salsa dancing includes the absorption of many different cultures and movements which is why there are so many varied forms of salsa that exist worldwide today - for example, LA salsa is very different to Cuban salsa. We also feel this gives us greater scope for creativity, interest and expression and enables us to adapt our dance style to different types of music, for instance we might dance traditional salsa moves to a cuban track but to a modern salsa remix we might add more west coast swing or hip hop inspired salsa dance moves to suit the music. Interpreting the music is important to us; to something fast and furious we could choose flashy moves with quick turns, lots of dips and tricks, but to a slower romantic song we might favour close hold simple moves and concentrate more on partner connection and subtle body movements. We like to encourage creativity and musicality in our students but above all we like you to have fun.
