Salsa Dancing Burns Calories
by Evan Margolin (Salsacrazy & Salsabootcamp)
Experts agree that dancing salsa can burn up to 10 calories per minute. But best of all, salsa dancing is easy to do. It’s an excellent workout exercise that combines aerobic and anaerobic training.
Let me explain the difference between the two…
Aerobic – Specifically refers to the use of the same large muscle group, rhythmically, for a period of 15 to 20 minutes or longer while maintaining 60-80% of your maximum heart rate. Basically it’s doing an activity for a long period of time at low intensity. Activities using aerobic exercise include jogging, swimming, walking, biking and cross-country skiing. Anaerobic -
Anaerobic activity refers to activities that are short in duration and high in intensity. Some anaerobic activities include: weight lifting, sprinting, racquetball, downhill skiing, softball, soccer and football. Its high intensity and works the muscles quickly and rigorously.
Aerobic refers to air or oxygen. To easily remember the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise just think that since aerobic is air or oxygen, that these types of activities should allow you to speak while performing the activity without gasping for air. If you are gasping for air during your activity you are most likely working anaerobically – which means faster, harder and at a higher intensity.
The continual movement of the salsa dance style steadily burns calories but also tones the body – most specifically the legs. But not only does it tone the body but it also adds strength to muscles without the high impact of most other exercises like weight training or running.
Salsa is also an excellent exercise choice because it combines individual dance routines that can also be paired up with a partner. Actually, salsa dancing can be practiced alone and then adding a partner for added excitement. The social charm that partnered salsa dancing has is very appealing.
A night of dancing is an excellent workout. If you are just learning to salsa dance you most likely will be working anaerobically. But as you advance to quicker salsa movements that are more complex like the professional salsa dancers twirling through the air with jumps and intense spins requiring strength, you will most likely be working your body anaerobically. This means that your muscles are working at a high intensity level.
In general, salsa dancing is an excellent workout. You’ll get fit, more toned and look better but also have fun while you’re doing it! Start joining the salsa craze now by visiting SalsaBootcamp.com. This is the best site on the web for learning how to dance salsa. Taught by real professional salsa dancers. It’s toxic!

London Salseros head out of town
by the Salsa Daddy
Everyone knows, if you want to go to a decent Salsa Club and dance with the best Salsa Dancers at the weekend London is where you need to be… Of Course! For years, that's the way it's been… dancers from all over the South East of England willing to endure the stress of driving and trying to park in London and often at great expense all in the name of Salsa.
Not any more! Londoners have started heading OUT of town at weekends for a Better Night of Salsa Dancing. So, what has changed and where are they going? Why are they going to so much trouble with so many Salsa clubs on their own doorstep?
It appears that London Salsa Dancers are becoming a bit disillusioned with the London Salsa Scene… perhaps it's not as friendly as it used to be, the music is predictable and the venues are expensive & often leave a lot to be desired. The dancers may not dance to quite the standard of the better London Salseros, but the scene is friendly, social and less intimidating (for newbies). What the 'Out of Towners' lack in skill & experience, they more than make up for in Enthusiasm, plus there are some fabulous venues where the drinks are not ridiculously expensive and parking is often very close by and FREE.
One such venue on many Londoners' lips at the moment is 'COLORS Nightclub' in Basildon, Essex… some 30 miles from the centre of London, but nevertheless attracting more London Salsa Dancers every month, and more importantly they are returning with friends. 'COLORS' holds a party night on the First Saturday of every month, with 2 Dance rooms offering different music to suit all tastes and an outside Roof Terrace, where you can also dance, the venue is to say the least Unique. Added to the Free parking within 1 minute walk, sensible priced entry & drinks and a very friendly group of Essex regulars of this & other local clubs, it's not hard to understand why Londoners can't wait to come back!
Stuart Thomas (Salsa SOS) & Joe Davids (Latin Collective) teamed up recently to run these events under the joint name of 'The United Colors of Salsa'. Stuart & Joe believe there is a lot to be gained by having a club where London dancers can enjoy the warm, friendly atmosphere of Essex and where Essex dancers can benefit from dancing with more experienced London Salseros (without having to travel to London of course). As well as bringing London & Essex Salseros together, they are determined to bring down the barriers between Salsa Styles… 'COLORS' is a club where, whatever your style (Cuban, Miami, LA, NY, etc…) you will feel welcome & at home and have a great time dancing to music you love.
Every party/event features different guest DJs & Teachers from the various styles, there are classes for all levels from 8pm to 9pm and a Showcase later in the evening, with the party going on all the way through till 2am. A great night out is guaranteed, and for just £10 (on the door) or even cheaper at £8 if you pay in advance online.
