@Pianotec Thank you for your comment, happy to hear that you like it and you are a musician! Joel

Yes Joel ! a musician and a piano technician , trying to learn how to dance and also how to play (son, mambo, chacha etc ...) like your videos and explanations, well done, I find.

@09Pianolove- Both are correct it is just that he is demonstrating on1 on guys timing and on2 on ladies timing. On2 guys will still go backwards with their left foot first and ladies are going forward with their right.

he showed the on2 in portorican style while in the new york style dance on2 means for gents starts with left foot on the back and for ladies start with right foot on forward this style is the opposite of the los angeles style. both los angeles style than new york style moves on beat number one with same foot but in opposite direction while portorican style moves with the opposite foot

Thanks Joel ! nicer on 2, by evidence, to me (I am musician !)

I thought PR salsa went forward with the left foot (men) on the 2 beat, and it was NY or Eddie Torres that went back with the left on the 2 beat. But I don't really know just what my ex who was PR told me.

Joel what happens when there are clave changes ? do the steps may take abreak and reverse or does not matter ? ( I'm listening to "Son de la loma" and I get lost at some moment in the clave so I suppose there is a change (is there one ?) Thanks ?

I like your videos.. but on this one I have to disagree. I danced on both counts... I noticed that when u did the basic on1 u kept your feet close on3 n on7.... actually u do it the same way u did the basic on2.. passing your feet forward or back.. same way we walk.. its a natural movement...

The rhythm is so fast that dancing on 1 or 2 or 3 , nobody would know the difference any way. So why bother ?! Anyone can get away with murder if moving the feet rapidly enough, there is no need to dance Quick, Quick, Slow any more !!!!! That is what I have been seeing how the so called Salsa Champion in their videos. There is no PAUSE whatsoever ! What the hell ?! George Wu, AIA 2012-11-24
