What is Guapea in Salsa Cubana?
Guapea is a basic step in salsa dancing that typically serves as the foundation for many other steps and patterns. It is often considered the starting point for many salsa routines and is typically the first step taught to beginners. The step involves a basic forward and back motion where the leader steps forward with their left foot and the follower steps back with their right foot. This creates the basic rhythm of salsa music and sets the foundation for more complex moves and turns. Guapea is usually performed in a “slot” formation, where the dancers move along a linear path, and is usually the starting point for a salsa social dance.

What is Salsa Suelta?
Salsa suelta is a style of salsa dancing where the dancers do not hold on to each other, but instead dance independently while still following the rhythm and timing of the music. It is also known as “freestyle salsa” or “salsa shines.” The focus is on individual footwork and body movement, rather than partnerwork. It is a popular style of salsa dancing in Latin American countries and in salsa clubs around the world.
