What is SALSArobics?
SALSArobics
is Latino fun and fitness for everyone.
SALSArobics®
is the original aerobic exercise program based on the spicy music and movements of the tropical Latin world. Performed to rhythms such as Salsa, Cumbia, Mambo, Merengue and more,
SALSArobics
is the Latin dance party that delivers a whole-body workout.
For those new to tropical Latin and Caribbean rhythms, SALSArobics provides
an opportunity to learn the steps to popular Latin dances while exercising. For experienced Latin
dancers, SALSArobics is an appealing alternative to conventional aerobic exercise.
The movements of SALSArobics have been adapted to aquatic
exercise as SALSAquatics™, and to exercise walking as SALSAwalk™.
SALSArobics has received editorial coverage in over 50
newspapers and 12 national magazines, and has had broad exposure on
television and radio.
SALSArobics is proud
to be a part of the "Fit to be Me" and "Go Girl Go!" programs
offered by the Girl Scouts/Illinois Crossroads Council, offered at schools
throughout the Chicago area for girls from kindergarten through eighth grade.
