Oh Elvis, Elvis, Elvis! Where are Mr. Mitchell's fact-checkers? Samba is the dance from Brazil; *salsa* is the dance from Cuba (and elsewhere). They both became popular around the same time, but they ain't the same thing. I haven't seen the movie so perhaps the dirty dance in the scene in question *is* the samba, but that seems unlikely since the whole shebang is set in Cuba around or just after the time salsa rose to prominence. For shame!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/02/27/nobody_puts_baby_in_the_corner.php#comment-17279 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/02/27/nobody_puts_baby_in_the_corner.php#comment-17279 Comments Fri, 27 Feb 2004 12:10:22 -0500 <p>Growing up, "Dirty Dancing" was one of my favorite movies. That Salon article made me all nostalgic.</p>
