contents Salsa Dance: Latino/ a History in Motion Priscilla Renta Sociología body dance salsa identity performance In the last decade, research on salsa in the United States hasgrown. Despite the body of scholarly work that exists on salsamusic, explorations on salsa dance have been scarce. This iscurious, considering that salsa music and dance are so intimatelytied, each existing as a consequence of the other. It isprecisely because of this close relationship that the music anddance often share the same spaces—living rooms at home,street festivals, nightclubs, and stages. As such, salsa dance isworthy of more thorough investigation in a space of its own,while still honoring its inseparable connection to its musicalform. Due to the dearth of scholarly work on salsa dance,my research draws from a variety of sources: my own experiencesand conversations with fellow salsa dancers, performers,and instructors in New York (1996–present), which includesmy tenure with the Eddie Torres Latin dance company(1996–1998); articles, films and books on salsa music; and thetheoretical frameworks provided by dance scholarship,ethnography, and performance studies. 2004 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37716210 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.2 Vol.XVI
