the New York dedication. Below: Salsa Casino dancers at the
Miami dedication bring the stamps to life.
Letters and packages are dancing to their destinations
to the steps of the Salsa, Cha-cha-chá, Mambo and Merengue
Latin dances, with the unveiling of the rhythmic new
Let’s Dance: Bailemos stamps recently.
Kicking off National Hispanic Heritage month, now
through Oct. 15, USPS dedicated the stamps at first-day-
of-issue ceremonies in New York City at the Copacabana
nightclub and in Miami at the Coconut Grove Expo Center.
The new stamps are featured on USPS.com with a Hispanic
Heritage Month calendar of events — and a range of
Merengue, Mambo, Cha-cha-cha and Salsa-themed
products at The Postal Store.
