Yes, ladies and gentlemen - you TOO can learn salsa from your very own home! (Provided you have a good connection to the great river of information - La Net.) Anyway, Marlon wants to teach the world to dance salsa, and you can take his free online lessons at: <A HREF="http://www.frompittsburghlive.com/salsa/default.asp" TARGET=_blank>http://www.frompittsburghlive.com/salsa/default.asp</A>

I can't believe no one wants to learn salsa from home! You don't even have to go to the video store! <P>He's got some tango stuff here too, if that's more your thing.

I'll learn it when I have time...

Ha! We might as well tie a knot in this thread and move on my friend!<P>In the meantime - boogie on - that's what I'm going to do...

Priscilla, well, I prefer salsa on my corn chips, not in my feet and hips.

A couple of times over 36 hours I've tried unsuccessfully to access the Salsa site, Priscilla. Shame, I was looking forward to a bit of Latin locomotion.

Well that's weak. I did check the link out again before posting it. Glad at least SOMEONE wanted to give it a try. Sorry!

If it makes you feel any better, Priscilla, salsa sizzles in Chicago, according to this interview with salsa instructor Miguel Mendez:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Latino.com: So how popular is salsa in Chicago? <P>Mendez: It’s going through the roof. It’s unbelievable. Everybody wants to learn how to dance salsa. It’s the biggest thing there is in the world right now in terms of dance. I literally mean that in a global scale — in Korea, Japan, the U.K. and other parts of Europe. Everywhere. Salsa is beautiful. It’s sexy. It looks good. People enjoy doing it. It helps you stay physically fit. It’s got a lot of health benefits as well. <P>In Chicago, you’ll find New York-style salsa and L.A.-style salsa. You have the L.A. salseros that come here and say, ‘Wow, they dance like us.’ You have the New York salseros who come and say the same thing. It’s just whether you dance on the first beat of the music of the second beat — the clave. I think the difference between the two is that in New York, you have what makes for more rhythmic dancing.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><B><A HREF="http://www.latinolink.com/article.php3/000823salsa?Page=1" TARGET=_blank>More</A></B>
