Just because it's not how you dance Salsa, if you dance Salsa I'm only assuming you do but I could be wrong. They dance different but then there are many differnt styles to dance to Salsa, on 1, on 2, LA style etc and of course those who just dance to the music and don't count lol I personally think dancing should be fun and not being judged by others on how you dance because it's not they way you dance or the way you have been taught 
I didn't get why you said 3rd world salsa? makes no sense and not funny either if you were trying to be funny.

No they do not unfortunately. This was a huge disappointment to me also.
I was expecting to hear more salsa on the island.
For that you need to go to Cuba (some of the best salsa dancing I have seen in the world IMO) and Puerta Rico...hey you will even hear more salsa being played in Latin clubs in Toronto, Montreal and New York than in the D.R.
We need to show some D.R. DJs this thread.....
cause the public obviously wants more variety.
On my trips only a few songs like 2 or 3 are played at the clubs I attended and not many people on the dance floor except me lol I guess that's why they don't play it a lot.
Funny thing is I found people listent to it but they just don't really dance to Salsa lol
I don't hear any Reggae music either. At the resort clubs I've heard some Bob Marley and that's about it. Lots of Reggaeton which I like anyhow.

Yes they need to open up some affordable salsa schools on the island or clubs should have those fun 1 hour salsa practices before the club officially opens so people can practice, so the locals can learn how to dance to it and feel more comfortable on the dance floor.
Salsa dancers are religious dancers and go out to dance often...that equals $$$ for the clubs. I guess club promoters and owners here dont get that.
I agree would be fun!! Yes your right Salsa dancers do go out to dance often. I used to go out every week dancing, what a work out and so much fun!!!
My mom told me that back in the days there used to be much more salsa dancing in the DR then there is now.
lmao, yes very religious. I have to dance salsa at least once a week. If you don't use it you might lose it. Wow, that's disappointing. I came out the womb dancing bachata and especially merengue so I'll be good.
lmao, I'm from Orlando so no matter your nationality you probably know how to dance Salsa. I even see an increasing amount of white people in the clubs now. I went to an all Dominican concert and there were these two young white girls trying to dance bachata and merengue. It looked like line dancing it was cute, lol.
I don't know but she always talks about how she used to dance salsa every sunday and about how popular it was. The dance floor would be full of couples dancing salsa.
Just for general info, the salsa was originated in Puerto Rico, no in Dominican Republic. Merengue is original from Dominican Republic, no the salsa.
Salsa is not from Puerto Rico. Salsa is from Cuba. In the 70's in New York City, the term Salsa was given to the 50's Cuban Guaracha for marketing purposes. In New York at the time the latino population was made up of Nuyoricans, Cubans and Dominicans. Fania Records didn't want to pit these groups against each other and so they came up with the descriptor Salsa. For those who want more info on Salsa, there is a great documentary called Salsa. Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz and others are interviewed and talk extensively on the subject.
