"Almost like 60 percent of students are from university and 40 percent from community," said the intermediate level instructor, Mohan Kumar Somasundaram. "The main purpose of this club is to promote salsa for mostly...I'm Indian and I am here, so this is so cultural like every other person here is different."

The class serves as a forum for students and community members to meet new people and interact with different people of different backgrounds.

"There is a good mix actually of university students as well as community members," said Tichenor. "So I think it's a good opportunity for people of different cultures and different age groups to interact."

Nutritional science senior, Maria Garcia said, she ended up loving the classes and the people around her.

"We have a very diverse group, so we get to experience with other cultures so it brings awareness more than anything. It brings people together; the community and the students."

Like food, Salsa has many different varieties.

"Salsa is like a mixture of a lot of different variety of songs," said Kumar. "You have LA style, for example, LA style, they do like one, two, three its like a basic linear style. New York style dance on two so LA style is going to look like this one, two, three, five, six, seven. Where as New York style is going to look like this one, two, three, five, six, seven. So we do Cuban style, this Cuban style one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

Focusing on Cuban style salsa the club practices dances and moves from that style only.

"Basically what we do here, you can see the people dance in a circle, its called Rueda de Casino," said Kumar.

The club meets every Monday and Thursday for a total of four hours a week.

The cost for the club is $30 with a cat card and $40 for members of the community.

"For me it's a passion," said Kumar. "I love it."
