The Americas host many different cultures on its vast territory.  I have been able to travel through many different countries in the Americas and photograph many different cultural activities.  One of the activities that showcases cultural diversity the most is dancing.

I recently attended the Hispanic Leadership Conference from Intel, in San José, California.  In the conference, one of the cultural aspects that was highlighted was the music, with a strong focus on Salsa.  On this new flickr set I am showcasing the pictures from that event as well as many other pictures on dancing in different countries in the Americas. 

Here is a list of the different cultures showcased:

- Amazon Indian dancers

- Salsa dancers in California

- Belly dancers in Brasil

- Capoeira street dancers in Brasil

- Folkloric dancers in Colombia and Guatemala

- Tango dancers in Buenos Aires

- Disco Dancers in Brasil
