NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (WTNH) — Central Connecticut State University hosted “Salsa Fest” on Wednesday to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

The event featured a live performance by the Hartt School All-Stars and a salsa dancing workshop. Salsa first gained popularity in the northeast in the 1960s in New York.

“Salsa truly is a communication between you and the partner and you and the music,” Xiomara Colon, a salsa dance instructor, said. “The ability to be able to incorporate different elements from other music makes it fun and makes it lively.”
