Salsa vs. Hip Hop

Although salsa and hip hop are both forms of dance; there are many things that make them different. It's really up to you and your preference to style. Would you like to be with a partner showing off more fluid, sexy movements to upbeat music? Or would you rather be an independent dancer allowing a little bit of your own style to show through? This is the difference between salsa and hip hop:with salsa, you need a partner and there are certain steps that you must do to make the dance successful. In hip hop however, most of the dance is done independently and you don't have to follow the choreography exactly. But what makes both salsa and hip hop two of the more exciting styles of dance is their upbeat music and quick, sharp movements. Attitude and expression are both necessary in these styles of dance and is for people who are strong willed and typically very passionate about music and dance. So before you make up your mind, I suggest you try a class in both. After you do so, your body will tell you which is for you because you can feel your comfort level relax or tighten during each class. Then, once you've decided, you can study further into your desired course and compare and contrast each form for yourself!
