All of us can appreciate the flow, joy, and emotions that come from dancing.

Whether we are the ones dancing or we are watching a performance it is always moving, literally.

Especially when little ones take the dance floor and sometimes perform better than adults who have been training longer than they’ve been alive.

Comments flood in with praise throughout the years as people discover this video for the first time.

Some wonder how far they’ve gone since this video is from 2017.

I can only imagine how far they’ve come now since this was done …” – Althea Gray

Some reflect about how mesmerizing these childrens advanced movements and understanding of the dance are.

This absolutely mesmerize me… we often think that kid’s don’t pay attention or understand so we leave them to themselves on tvs or to play alone instead of taking time t teach them something beneficial. Those two kids must not even be 7yd and they know their routine so well, kids are smart!” – Arely Alfaro

Some even wonder if they’ll ever reach this level of dancing skill.

I wonder if i’ll ever reach his level ..” – Yashiro San

But salsa has had a life of its own since first coming to life in the 1900s.

Salsa can be dated back to the 1900s in Eastern Cuba where they mixed various rhythmic styles and musical elements. When creating the foundation of the rhythm that is salsa they used a variety of musical instruments which allowed for two main styles to come to life called: Cuban son and Afro-Cuban rumba.

After about 50 years passed and this new flow reached Havana where it only continued to grow and evolve. Eventually even moving to New York.

Telling a beautiful story without using any words.

From the beginning of their dance to the very end they tell a story without speaking any words. By using just their movements and facial expressions the story unfolds.

Then the camera finally turns to the other side of the room and we see this was all for a wedding! Once the dance is complete the little boy falls to the floor after his intense performance but quickly gets up to take a bow with his partner.

What a treat for the newlyweds and their guests.
