Salsa is origianally from Cuba but it is played in other countries, for example Jamaica, Africa, Spain, Mexico, Italy (eg). How it got started? a: It got started in Cuba when people would have radios on their shoulders and music playing. While the music was playing those people would sort of like shake/move their hips and start creating a dance. People would follow and there would be one leader and a group behind him. Whatever the leader dances, the group will too. It's kind of like follow the leader.

What are some good poems about ballet?
"to Odette" Fair white swan of mystic night
singing me wave upon wave
of moonlight you spin and white lace encircles you
spirals of echoing light a rapid bouree to a moonbeam
and the cold calculating scent of morning
hangs like icicles from your breath caress me gently, my dove,
kiss me!
- the cold still kiss of night
of death
(a wane hand upon my shoulder now) embrace
a circle of lines
a symmetry of passion
ending in arabesque
your converging planes
form a portal to my soul love, fair, sweet swan of love! -(c) 1998 Gustav BenJava
