why do people keep coming saying this? firstly we all know it's a ballroom style, we ALL know, secondly you in a season where 15 people doing salsa you can't have proper music for every one cause it will be boring to be honest, Plus, this is an Saturday night entertainment show where World Champions are choreographing for ordinary people, traditional dances aren't easy !

1st ... "people" dont keep coming saying this, nobody never says anything ...only one that says something is me...and i happen to know what SALSA is...and no we all dont know its "ballroom style" cause they call it Salsa ...And no there aren´t 2 styles of salsa as you suggest ..namely "normal-salsa" and "ballroom-salsa" ...theres just one salsa which is "SALSA" ... if its a ballroom style ..then call it "ballroom" if its disco call it "disco" ...same goes with their fake ballroom Samba or Chacha which has nothing to do with it...its nothing more then a bunch of goodlooking ballroom-people (posers) and fake ballroom-judges that make fame based on fake named Salsa or Samba or Chacha ...they all look the same when done by these TV-ballroomers and have nothing to do with the original dance (or music)

Ok, let's put this into perspective. Each contestant has just under a week to learn an entirely new dance style, with the majority having had very little dance experience prior to the competition. So, they could be spending the entire time perfecting the basic steps of the dance, but that would make for extremely boring routines and people would stop tuning in. So, the professionals have to come up with clever ways of incorporating both basic steps and also flashy showdance moves to appease the general public. With the time frame that they are given, most do an incredible job with choreographing, and this salsa is an excellent example of it. If it really was THAT far away from your idea of the salsa, don't you think the judges, who have years of dance experience would comment on it? If you are that bothered by this format, no one is forcing you to watch, and perhaps you should just stick to SYTYCD.

No one who watches this program is using it to study dance, I think most are aware that the original dance styles differ from what the celebrities perform. It is an entertainment show.

There were elements of Salsa in this routine, but I was beginning to wonder whether I was actually watching a cha cha cha. The music was certainly more suited to that kind of dance - especially to the heavy beat. Having said that, Simon performed well. The problem with all the routines is that there tends to be more choreography content than actual "dance style" content!

Melanie-Joanne Haughton Yep, I agree he danced well.....The production team really must polish up on the Types of Dancing out there.....The Latin sections are failing for me Samba Salsa Really need to be improved The Tango is Ok.....as they have Vincent on board to advise.....
