Cha-Cha-Cha has many moves that can be converted into Salsa and vice versa, hence those who dance Salsa will find this dance easier to learn.

• Mambo or Salsa On2 The Mambo dance that was invented by Perez Prado and was popular in the 1940s and 50s Cuba, Mexico City, and New York is completely different to the modern dance that New Yorkers now call 'Mambo', which is also known as Salsa "on 2". The original mambo dance contains no breaking steps or basic steps at all. Cuban dancers would describe mambo as "feeling the music" in which sound and movement were merged through the body. The modern dance from New York was popularized in the 70s by Eddie Torres and his contemporaries who were 1st or 2nd generation Puerto Rican immigrants. This style is danced to Salsa music.
