DePaul dips into salsa dancing
Ritmo Denbow is DePaul’s first salsa group and provides a community for Latino students. (Revan Lowe-Watkins / The DePaulia)The word “salsa” brings to mind images of controlled steps, swaying of the hips and emotion. But there’s more to salsa than just that. Salsa creates a social atmosphere, connecting people with familiar and sometimes unfamiliar individuals that find a common language by moving along to the Latino-inspired beats.
Ritmo Dembow, DePaul University’s first and only modern dance group, brought salsa to DePaul. Its members sayitopened up doors for members of the DePaul community to come together and express themselves.
