Salsa is a journey where every step is fun!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book has become my holiday conversation starter. The cover engages my guests (who's the dancer??) and they immediately want to know what it's all about. "I had no idea there was that much to it!", "Where can I get lessons?", "I'm going to tell my son about this", ... everyone finds something surprising and interesting as they page through it.
The author has a deep and thorough knowledge of this art form that lets her relate the dance moves effortlessly in several different ways. The reader feels guided through an endless dance adventure, one move at a time. As the numerous photos and YouTube videos attest, everyone has fun dancing salsa.
I recommend this to anyone who is interested in social dancing, beginner or expert. It's an inviting introduction as well as a comprehensive reference.

I’m so excited this book has been released! I am a student and a teacher of Rueda de Casino. Already I have been able to reference this book many times to better explain moves when teaching them and to understand more advanced moves for myself. And beyond learning movements, I really enjoyed the stories and the history shared within the text. You can tell that the author has poured her time, heart, and soul into this. It’s worth it alone for all the video links she carefully organized. A timeless, well crafted book.
Great book!

Barbara taught me my very first salsa/rueda lesson many years ago and instilled and inspired a love of this dance and music that endures to this day. The book is a wonderful intro and dive into the dance. Wepa!
