Practicing salsa in Hanoi’s park

Salsa has been imported into Vietnam for five years and has become popular among Vietnamese youngsters. Though salsa dancing is not a hot trend now, many people still love this dance.

On Sunday morning, salsa fans group up at Hanoi’s Thong Nhat Park to practice.

They dance with music played by a cassette player.

This is not a place for practicing salsa, but a place for making friends.

Mr. Pham Hoang Hai only became a dancer at the age of retirement.

Hai said he practices this dance for passion and for maintaining good health.

Each pair seems to have their own world.

Nobody knows why this Latin dance is so attractive to Vietnamese young people.
