Salsa, tango, and reggaeton are not just dances; they are stories told through the movement of the body. Each rhythm carries its own narrative. Salsa is playful and flirty; tango is a dramatic tale of longing and lost love, and reggaeton is bold, rebellious, and full of energy, inviting everyone to dance with freedom and confidence.

This reading and listening exercise can help you practise the use of the infinitive after prepositions and some idiomatic expressions like ¿A que…? and ¿Cómo que…?.
