Bonus Activity: Shake it Off

Bonus Activity: Shake it Off
This one you have to look at a dance and write what country did it originate from? Who originally created it?
  1. Even though Salsa was originally created in Cuba it became very popular when it was played in North America on radios in the early 1920's.
  2. Salsa dance was the most popular in the 1970's in America.
  3. Salsa is a type of dance that was a mix of a lot of other types of dancing.  It all came together with many different people from different countries moving to Cuba.  Lots of dancing styles combined with fast music to form 'Salsa'.


here is a link to a video I found of salsa dancing:

  1. Hi Jess

    Well done with the bonus activity. I love that you have included a link to a video of salsa dancing that you have found.

    Do you know how to salsa dance? I wonder if Emma knows how to salsa dance?
    You will have to ask her. Did you know that she is off to Australia soon to learn some new things so that she can teach you more exciting things!!

    Salsa dancing is the first thing I think of when someone talks about South America, I would like to see this dancing done by people on the streets in Cuba. I really like to costumes that they wear when they salsa dance to. Usually the colour red is always worn too.

    Well done Jess

    Keep blogging!

    Until next time
