We know how frusturating it can be to find salsa music slow enough to dance to, and at the same time stimlating enough to maintain your interest. Salsa music that would be slow enough could be considered a mid-tempo chachachá or other variant instead. Chachachá or not, we always select music based on its suitability for learning purposes. So, we have provided a list of some of the tracks that have proved to be successful to learn to. (Note: bpm = dance beats per minute.)
