Salsa and Your Health , Sonia Sotomayor: dance Salsa Daily To Improve Your Health' , NEW YORK Looking to get in shape without going to the gym? Sonia Sotomayors Got an idea for you. , The First Latina Supreme Court Justice recommended dancing salsa daily as a way to keep fit during a talk Saturday with journalist Maria Hinojosa at New Yorks El Museo del Barrio to promote her new autobiography, My Beloved World.
