SALSA:
New York Club Style Salsa "On1" and “On 2”. We concentrate on developing solid
rhythm and timing first, and then expose the student to patterns, turns,
footwork and styling. The elements of the dance are taught through shines
(footwork) and partnering. The “NY Style” is
a combination of the “On 1” and “On 2” systems. The timing of the steps are on
the 1-2-3, 5-6-7 as in “On 1” but the breaks (where the body changes direction)
occur on the 2 and 6 as in “On 2”. NY instructor
Eddie Torres developed this step pattern
around the late 70s and the 80s.
CUBAN SALSA:
The original salsa style, as considered by most, which has been developing in
Cuba since the 1950s. Cuban-style salsa can be danced either “on one” or “a
contratiempo” – the latter is often referred to as “on two”. An essential
element is the “cuba step” (also known as Guapea), where the leader does a
backward basic on 1-2-3 and a forward basic on 5-6-7. The follower does the
same, thereby mirroring the leader’s movement.
LATIN BALLROOM:
Cha-Cha, Rumba, Samba and Bolero. Experience the
different rhythms of each dance. An emphasis is placed on both connection with
