摘　　要：This essay examines the configuration of masculinities in salsa dance based on discussions on a popular salsa website,Salsaforums.com.With a thorough combing of the popular threads on male dancers,it contends that in the traditional framework of performance of men in salsa,the issue of masculinity as a social practice embedded in the discursive structuring of various social forces has to be explored from a dynamic and eclectic perspective.Discourses are manifest in the male dancers’pride,insecurity,and anxiety.While trying to retain dispositions or attributes traditionally ascribed to men,however,male salsa dancers are negotiating a salsa masculinity that is multiple,fluid,flexible,and on the way to embrace a more inclusive spectrum of possibilities.
