Hi, I've been dancing for three years now and am STILL learning!! :D

There's a salsa club located in Kingston, Jamaica and just recently they launched their website. Here's the link: http://salsajamaica.com Check it out.......if you're ever in the island pay us a visit!!!
 
Welcome jamaicanspice, :D

I'll know where to go if ever in Kingston.

What other dances are popular in Jamaica?
 
hi and thanks!

no I haven't tried the rueda but I've seen it done alot here. I haven't found anyone who can teach me it though so I'm 'limited' to couples dancing :lol: Isn't it based on Cuban dancing though?
 
hola jamaican!.. maan Jamaica is gorgeous enough as it is.. and now there's even hot salsa to heat it up even more! 8) .. gotta get myself there and boost up the african spirit! :bouncy:
 
Welcome to the forums, Jamaicanspice! I so wanna go there! I've added Jamaica to my dancing "to do" list! :)
My favourite salsa place closed two weeks ago and I'm suffering a serious case of withdrawal...
Thanks for the tip
 
Welcome Jamaicaspice! Jamaica isn't a "lil" island. It is one of the largest in the Caribbean, the largest amongst the english speaking islands :wink:

Have you been to any of the other islands? Have you heard any steelpan salsa songs? (another thread which I haven't got time to look for and link :( )

I have danced in Trinidad and the style there is quite different to anything I have experienced - very ballroom like. :?

Hi MadamSamba, thanks for the welcome. I SOOOOO know what you mean about those withdrawal symptoms....I've been through them myself....*shudder* not nice :D So guess what...jump on a plane and head to New Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica and register at the Hilton Hotel for a couple weeks....that way you wont have to go far for a little salsa fix :D 8)

Hi Pacion, thanks for the welcome :D ahhhhh, I kinda know that my island isn't little in the true sense of the word. What I should have done was put the word in brackets so you would know I meant it figuratively speaking. 8)

I've been to Cayman once....but I only recently learnt that they have a salsa club there so next time I go I will be checking it out. I haven't been to any other Caribbean island yet...my travels have been mainly to the States so far. In terms of steel pans and salsa songs....well, I HAVE heard Steel bands PLAYING salsa songs :) . Oh by the way, every month end there is a live band at the Jonkanoo Lounge (that's where I go latin dancing at the Hilton Hotel) playing latin music. You should check it out when you come here.

There was a guy here from Trinidad that I danced with.....beautiful movements!! and you're right....it is kinda like ballroom dancing.
 
Dancing is the point when a dancer becomes the dance
My soul dances.. my body merely plays the rhythme
Dream the dream of dance.. searching for the time to dance the dance of dreams

BEAUTIFUL words MadamSamba.....just BEAUTIFUL!! You've just spoken what my heart has been fighting to find the words to describe what this music means to me :)
