美丽的“Salsa”舞

Salsa refers to a fusion ofinformal dance styles having roots in the Caribbean (especially Cuba), Latin America and North America. Salsa is danced to Salsa music. There is a strong African influence in the music and the dance.

“Salsa”是一种融合了非正式舞蹈风格，这种舞蹈风格起源于加勒比海（特别是古巴）以及拉丁美洲和美国北部。 Salsa舞动伴随着Salsa的音乐，这是一种有浓郁非洲风格的音乐和舞蹈。

Salsa is usually a partner dance, although there are recognized solo steps and some forms are danced in groups of couples, with frequent exchanges of partner. Improvisation and social dancing are important elements of Salsa but it appears as a performance dance too.

Salsa通常是结伴舞蹈，尽管有着单独舞步，但它也存在双人和频繁的交换舞伴群体的舞蹈形式。即兴创作和社交舞蹈是Salsa的重要元素，而且Salsa也是一种表演舞蹈。

The name "Salsa" is the Spanish word for sauce, connoting a spicy flavor. The Salsa aesthetic is more flirtatious and sensuous than its ancestor, Cuban Son. Salsa also suggests a "mixture" of ingredients, though this meaning is not found in most stories of the term's origin. (See Salsa music for more information)

Salsa这个名字在西班牙语中是“调味汁” 的意思，暗含着一种粗俗暧昧的味道。现在Salsa在审美意义上，相比而言，它比它的先驱－Cuban son更加追求调戏和激发美韵的成分。在大部分有关salsa这个舞蹈专业术语来源的故事中，salsa同样暗含有“调味品的融合”的意义也没有被提及。

Salsa is danced on a core rhythm that lasts for two measures of four beats each. The basic step typically uses three steps each measure. This pattern might be quick-quick-slow, taking two beats to gradually transfer the weight, or quick-quick-quick allowing a tap or other embellishment on the vacant beat.

Salsa舞蹈音乐的核心节拍是2/4拍。基本舞步通常采取每小节3步的形式，这个舞步结构或许是“快快慢”，舞步占用两拍逐渐用力转移重心；或者是“快快快”，允许踏踏舞步或其它舞步在空缺的那个节拍做润色装饰。

This is not to say that the steps are always on beats 1, 2 and 3 of the measure. (See Styles below.) It is conventional in salsa for the two musical measures to be considered as one, so the count goes from 1 to 8 over two musical bars.

这不是说salsa的舞步总是在每小节1拍2拍或者3拍，在salsa舞蹈的传统中习惯于将两个小节看成是一个小节。所以在Salsa中从1拍数到8拍会占据两小节。

Typically the music involves complex African percussion rhythms based around the Son clave or Rumba clave. Music suitable for dancing ranges from slow at about 120 beats per minute to its fastest at around 180 beats per minute. (See salsa music).

通常salsa的音乐会包含混合了以Son clave or Rumba clave为基础的非洲打击乐，这样会适合salsa舞蹈的舞步韵律，从最慢的120拍/分钟到最快180拍/分钟的范围不等。

Salsa is a slot or spot dance, i.e. the partners do not need to travel over the dance floor but usually occupy a fixed area of the dance floor, rotating around one another and exchanging places. Traveling is not ruled out, and is a necessary part of performance, but in a social setting it is bad etiquette to "take up" too much floor by traveling.

Salsa是一种狭槽或斑点式的舞蹈，也就是说，舞伴不需要穿行整个舞池，而是是在舞池中占据固定的区域，围绕着一个人或其它旋转而改变位置。穿行整个舞池的舞步并不是不允许，有时候还是表演舞蹈中必需的部分。但是社交舞蹈中，过度的跨越舞池和占据舞蹈位置会被认为是不礼貌的行为。
