SALSA FAQS
Q. What is Salsa?
A. Salsa is a street dance that is fast gaining popularity here in the Klang Valley! While many different styles of Salsa exist; here in New Star Studio, we teach the Latin American (or L. A.) style that is dominant in the local scene. Whether it is done casually or as a performance, Salsa is mainly a couple dance, though there are also individual moves (or shines) which a person can do, occasionally.
