Happy you enjoyed :)

@@BallroomFeedthought about doing a video about differences between New York Salsa and Mambo. They seem more similar to each other compared to other styles of salsa.

Thanks for watching! Yes salsa on 1 is definitely easier than salsa on 2 especially if you’re just starting out! Yes we love mambo too :)

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so happy to hear we were able to help you on your dancing journey :)

don't blame yourself, blame the teacher. dance lesson are bull crap money making for the so called teacher/s, or scam artists i'd say.. most teachers want their students remain beginner to mid level dancers cuz if you can move any faster that'd be on2 salsa and they have no knowledge of it. but that'd be another topic. same for ballroom salsa that's classic mambo on2 in nature but not applicable to social since ballroom salsa moves so slow loaded with hip actions, good only for slow salsa song and slow beats like you say, only ballroomers do it, because the lead moves forward like on1, bogus salsa teachers also would teach you routines that are ineffective when it comes to live dancing because music changes all the time in rapid succession..in bogus party they have to play easy dancing music throughout the party ..aka boring music. first thing to do is to move away from those so called salsa teachers, one can learn more by watching youtube international salsa dance scenes worldwide so your knowledge can expand ...Certainly, don't blame yourself, blame the so called teacher. and good luck to you PS: salsa ON1 was originally invented by- you have guessed it by now- ballroom teachers!

Interesting and valuable reply. Thank you. Here in UK, salsa has died out to a great extent compared with ten years ago - it's become a more niche thing with the successful groups local to me focusing on Afro type music which to my middle aged white male ears sounds a lot like "noise" and is far too fast to enjoy dancing to - it all becomes very mechanical and lacks any expressiveness .@@youtuub

what do you expect, salsa dance is exciting which involves alot of turning left and right spins and such, when teachers couldn't focus on that part to get ppl on track and excited , boring and lame music is enough to turn savvy dancers away ...and when ppl can't keep up with salsa they might as well do other types of dances like tango or afro like ..and bachata will put the final nail on the coffin. lol

Glad it was helpful! :)

Awesome John! :)

Thank you Peter!! Glad you enjoyed :)

Thank you! :)

That's right, very good!! :)

Except that they actually start on 1 in dirty dancing.

@@marieklikova314 If we are talking about mambo... :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNuqlLqElay3o58.html

Not so much salsa, but mambo using the side step in the basic is similar tp international rumba if you only consider the basic foot directions. The timing, technique, feeling, styling and music is completely different however ;)

Thanks for your feedback! We are limited with royalty free music so if we can find songs that are clear to hear the differences we will try :)

@@BallroomFeed oh yes ofcourse, >I forgot👍🏻

We love it too!

@@BallroomFeed wow this was a fantastic video, thanks for sharing. I really love how you articulate the steps of salsa, which is very prominent when some people dance cubana as I have failed to understand how, until now. Thanks

Salsa and mambo are structurally very different especially as you progress. The patterns become very different as well as the technique. So salsa on 2 is still salsa with slightly different timing interpretation :)

Eddie Torres popularized that "on 2" timing in NYC in the salsa revival of the 1980's. He pretty much single-handedly disseminated it in classes he was offering.
