'Salsa in Rome'
by Angela Carli
 
Salsa in Rome is a contagious 'fever', and it’s spreading far and wide!
It began quietly in 1988 and has grown steadily into the massive phenomenon
it is today.

 

There are many salsa dance clubs in Rome, so salseros have an ample choice of places to dance each night.

There are small, centrally located and characteristic clubs like 'Caruso', where the atmosphere is genuine and where Italians, Cubans, Dominicans and many others come to dance, united by their passion for Salsa! The big clubs such as 'Palacavicchi' offer multiple dance floors (over 5000 square meters!) each featuring a different style. You can find Cuban, Puerto Rican, L.A. style, N.Y, style etc, other categories such as Bachata, Reggaeton and more.

Rome is certainly the Italian city that offers the most Salsa dancing, every night, all year long. You’ll find many special events featuring important musical groups from Cuba and other Latin American countries. Many international events are held in Rome, such as the Salsa World Festival.

If you want to know what’s going on in the Salsa scene each week, as well as where to go dancing Salsa in Rome, visit my site www.salsaplanet.net (choose the English language version if you prefer). It’s updated weekly.
