The term "kolmasosalla" is Finnish, and it translates to "third wave salsa" in English. This name reflects the evolution of salsa dance, with the first wave being the Cuban salsa of the 1950s and 1960s, and the second wave being the New York salsa of the 1970s and 1980s. Kolmasosalla is known for its technical difficulty and requires dancers to have a strong foundation in basic salsa steps and turns.

Kolmasosalla is typically danced to music with a fast tempo, usually around 160 to 180 beats per minute. The dance involves intricate footwork, such as quick steps, turns, and spins, as well as complex patterns that require precise timing and coordination.
