LOL, Salsa is dying? where do you live, under a rock? Salsa is still played throughout households of all latinos (Ecuadorians to Ricans) on a daily basis. Stop that don't non-sense. Club music is trash.

PR's have spread across the city and the country... That doesn't mean we don't listen to salsa anymore... And from what I see heading to church parties and having to chaperone sometimes at the events, most of the new crowd of spanish folk are starting to appreciate salsa as well... Everywhere I go, I see more and more kids learning salsa steps for the parties... The dance itself takes so much more skill than bachata or merengue and these kids wanna learn... Only difference between back then and today is that kids learned how to dance salsa from their parents growing up, now they just learn it at dancing schools across the city...
Exactamundo.

At the 2010 Census, there were 319,263 Mexican Americans living in New York City.[123] In 2009, it was estimated that of the city's Hispanic population, 13.5% was of Mexican origin.[122] Mexicans are the fastest growing group of Hispanic population.[73] Some estimates suggest that Mexicans will surpass both Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in 2023 to become the city’s largest national Latino sub-group, and that Dominicans will surpass Puerto Ricans in 2030 to become the second largest Latino nationality.[122] As of 2011, the Mexican Consulate estimated about 500,000 Mexicans lived in New York City, of whom 35,000 spoke a Mexican indigenous language
