Jennifer Lopez—singer, actress, and global icon—has always had a deep love for dance, especially Salsa. During an appearance on Inside the Actor’s Studio, when asked about her favorite sound, she answered without hesitation: “The sound of salsa music.” And fittingly, she showed off her moves right then and there.
Her Puerto Rican roots clearly shine through in her passion for rhythm and movement. Over the years, JLo has infused her performances with Latin flair. At the 2013 Eurovision (as a guest performer), she paid tribute to Salsa with a vibrant performance—even if dancing wasn’t the main focus, the energy was undeniable.
Though she never competed on Dancing with the Stars, fans agree she would’ve been a frontrunner. While not a professional ballroom dancer, she proved her skills on screen in Shall We Dance?, where she played a dance instructor opposite Richard Gere, performing everything from Salsa to Tango.
JLo might not hold ballroom titles, but when it comes to dance, she moves with heart—and that’s what truly captivates audiences.
