Salsa goes Online on OnlineSalsa.com
May 10, 2009 at 1:42 am by Salsa Dancing Addict- Premier Salsa portal opens its doors
As of May 7 Salsa lovers have only to remember one site: OnlineSalsa.com. OnlineSalsa is the first independent salsa site aimed at the international salsa community. A one-stop portal for all things salsa, OnlineSalsa.com aims to provide the most relevant and essential content for passionate salseros around the world, ranging from up-to-date news and events, the latest music, the hottest video clips and salsa radio stations to salsa schools and clubs near you.
Salsa, a lifestyle embraced by millions world wide
Susanne Waldau – te Brake, founder of OnlineSalsa.com explains:
“Salsa is what clubbing was in the ‘90′, and what Yoga became in the noughties. It is more than just a fabulous dance; it’s a lifestyle embraced by millions world wide. And the community is growing by the day. The salsa industry has been growing largely in the last decade gaining immense popularity in the US, Europe and Asia/Pacific. Whether you are young or old; Salsa will bring you more than just dancing pleasure. It’s a social experience, where people enjoy the music, the dance as well as socializing and meeting new people. It attracts a broad and diverse target audience as salsa lessons and parties are gaining in popularity with people of all ages.”
When asked about how the salsa industry has developed over the last years, Ms. Waldau – te Brake continues: “Although the industry has yet to mature, the salsa scene has become a scene to be reckoned with. The industry has grown beyond traditional schools and clubs, expanding to other Latin dances, events, parties, music and clothing. Surprisingly however online activities are still in its infancy. There are an abundance of websites, but they are typically extensions to a certain school and don’t capture the community at large nor do they take a holistic approach, offering relevant, independent content to the reader. Until now there was no premier destination site offering ‘all things Salsa’. OnlineSalsa.com will certainly change this through bringing the latest news, the hottest music and videos, and the trendiest schools, clubs and events on one single portal. Our business model allows us to offer valuable salsa related content from all over the world and attract sustainable traffic.”
OnlineSalsa.com: the ultimate online salsa experience
Whether the visitor is a beginner in salsa, an advanced or professional dancer or just would like to know more about this amazing dance, OnlineSalsa.com has everything to satisfy the need of the (potential) dancer. Salsa is a way of life, beyond lessons and parties. Where the classes and social dancing stops, OnlineSalsa.com continues providing a complete online experience from music and videos to news, articles, clubs and events.
OnlineSalsa.com is going live on May 7 as part of a network of dance sites that will launch later this year. It is operated by Mdina BV, a company based in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
