As a non-academic I'm reluctant to weigh in, but I must object to salsa
being labelled a lust-oriented dance. It's a rhythmic dance. Sometimes it's
danced with partners, and sometimes it's danced solo. Sometimes it inspires
lust. Sometimes it inspires happiness and feelings of human kindness.

Any activiity can under certain circumstances inspire lust, or not.
Sometimes, sitting in the sun reading a book can inspire lust, no?
