Description
Salsa on 2, commonly referred to as “Mambo”, is a style of salsa
first introduced by Eddie Torres in New York in the 1960s.
Technically speaking, dancing “On 2” refers to the beat the dancers
break forward on. Followers will break forward with the left foot
on the 2 and leaders will break forward on the 6. New York style
salsa is distinguished by smooth, controlled, highly technical
movements that are elegant, graceful, flow well and are not rushed.
The style is very linear and many of the turn patterns evolve from
cross body lead variations. Multiple spins, complicated footwork,
Afro Cuban body movement and shines are a must. Dancing “On 2” is
rhythmically more difficult as it is easier to hear the 1 beat and
break on this beat.
We are encouraging our
Nuvitzo Dancers to have completed all series of salsa from level
100 - 400 “On 1” first and then train “On 2” as we feel it is more
musically and rhythmically rich and complex.
Here is what you will
