As a dance form, Salsa has vastly grown and spread to many countries including Germany, Denmark, Canada, Japan, and other neighboring countries. Salsa is now the fastest growing dance form in the world. Latin American film and music stars such as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, have brought greater attention to Salsa music and culture.
