Why is Salsa dancing so fast?

Salsa dance does not have a universal tempo, and there are many different styles and variations of Salsa dancing. Some styles, such as Cuban Salsa and Puerto Rican Salsa, are known for their faster tempos and intricate footwork, while other styles, like Colombian Salsa and New York Salsa, may be danced at slower tempos and feature different techniques and rhythms. The speed or tempo of a particular dance is dependent on the specific genre and preference of the dancers involved.
