….The lights were dim, the candles on the small tables gave the club a romantic setting. As the couples arrive they greet each other. They are regulars dressed to the nines in an atmosphere filled with cigarette smoke and perfume. The orchestra takes their position on stage and at the hour the timbal sticks begin the count. 1…2…1,2,3,4. Bam! The horns blare and the music begins. On cue, couples take over the dance floor and show off their styles with precision. Couples twirl and the most skilled take center position on the dance floor claiming dominance. Through the mambos and the son montunos the congas carry the beat with the horns blaring in support. Salsa! You gotta love it. It’s not a fad. It’s a lifestyle.
