What's the difference between New York Salsa and Spanish Salsa?

[Rubineski]

Anyone know? Just started lessons and didn't even realise there were different sorts. Apparently I'm doing the NY version.

anyone shed any light???

Oh there are quite a few salsa-nuts on mn, you need Marslady and one of the Dads(can't remember which one though)

I really don't know... would one be the latinamerican version? New York full of Puerto Ricans and all that?

To be honest... I really don't think Salsa was originally linked to Spain (although possibly very popular there now). Salsa is a Latinamerican dance.

It's very knackering, I know that much!
