Differences in Cuban Salsa?

by Alex
(Nottingham)

Ive been looking into participating a Cuban Salsa class?

Ive been watching this video and i know the dancers are professional but i was wondering if the lifts, spins, the move where the woman is bent back part of Cuban Salsa dancing, or if there not a difference between all Salsa?

That's not Cuban Salsa
by: Irish Paul

The video you're watching has nothing to do with Cuban salsa! (They might have called it "Cuban Salsa" on the show, but this was completely misleading).

The lifts, spins and dips are part of the more theatrical L.A. style of Salsa.

Here are a couple of videos which will show you what good Cuban salsa looks like:
