When poet and biographer Grevel Lindop takes up salsa dancing in rainy Manchester, all he has are size 12 feet and excruciating adolescent memories of ballroom dancing lessons. But salsa has a way of getting into your blood. Intense and intimate, sexy and addictive, the adrenalin-pumping Afro-Latin-American dance style soon becomes an obsession. But can he, as a 6'4 white English poet, ever really experience the spirit of the dance? Travels on the Dance Floor is Grevel Lindop's vibrant and evocative account of his solitary journey to the streets, bars and dance halls of Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Miami, where he encounters danger, romance and music in his search for the roots of salsa.
