@@MessinaDance geezer at least I know what I am talking about

@@leduaracosta1569 you sure don't know a fucking thing about my background, my teachers, or me cutie pie.

@@MessinaDance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am aware of that but I can tell by the way you are teaching that you aren't Cuban

@leduaracosta1569 Last name is Messina, congrats on dicerning that I am not Cuban 👏👏👏 I making a 60 second video for people to be introduced to the overall idea of the dance. The workshop I referenced was taught alongside with a Cuban and she seemed to have no issue, so what do you day about moving on with your day 🙏

@gpaszczuk thank u for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the course!

Thanks very much. I do have a video of incorporating son I to dancing casino on the channel. It was a livestream

The simplest answer is that on2 is felt as quick-quick-slow and son is felt as slow-quick-quick. It’s a different sensation against the music. On2 typically connects more with the slaps 2&6 where son connects heavily with the slow beats 4&8. They are similar and instructors with a son background will teach how to integrate son timing into on2 dancing, because it only requires taking your 5/1 early on 4/8 and slipping into the feel of slow-quick-quick. I’m not an expert, but that’s what I’ve learned from dancing both.

@@Danceitup44 thanks for your explanation! I am still putting the pieces of the puzzle in my head, as it seems that terminology isn't used the same everywhere. For example, I came to understand that on2, as it is modernly thought, is on counts 1,2,3-,5,6,7- with an emphasis on the 2 and 6, while mambo is more like son -,2,3,4,-,6,7,8. Is it really the case? Until now I thought that mambo is just an umbrella term for on2. Is there any modern salsa dance that uses the son counting? Is that mambo?

@@yoanalexandernowadays we call on-2 a Mambo because Eddie Torres and others popularized it that way. There isn’t a right answer, both are a Mambo. The feel of the song will dictate the style that makes sense. Son is often an elegant and flowing dance, and wouldn’t make sense is a fast staccato song. Similarly dancing Mambo when the Tumbao is emphasized on Conga doesn’t make sense (musically, you can do what you want though). Many schools don’t teach this because it’s really hard and intimidating to learn so many styles. And so you see people plowing through turn combos song after song. And the truth is, every Salsa song has a variety of musical styles inside it. For example the songs sometimes start slow with a Conga emphasis, so dancing Son could be appropriate. When the cowbell pops off in the Montuno, dancing Mambo style makes a lot more sense. Typically you also see a half-time feel section where Afro styles sneak in, and other sections with Pachanga, etc. It’s a rich and beautiful culture of dance, I think.

You're the man! Thank you for taking the time to share those words. You guys look fantastic dancing and I think you'll love the new stuff 🙌

In timing and in form, both no. As opposed to a written explanation, I'd suggest taking a look at "son tradicional" and "on2 salsa" videos and compare.

I couldn't ask for more 🙌 Thanks for letting me know 🙏

Thanks for saying 🙌

It was my pleasure! The big man has invited me back, but give him a reminder anyway if you can! 🤣

Thank you so much for saying 🙏

@@MessinaDance C'est justifié ! 😍

@@Karina83200 🙏🙏🙏

I'm very glad!

🙏 thanks for saying!

Thanks for the kind words... I really appreciate it 🙏

Thanks very much🙌

Thanks so much. I hope the different playliats help!

This will be in the "turns" section of the course. There's several combinations that start with somebrero which will also be covered and there will be a section that creates short sequences using the various turns we'll cover. Some of that will definitely make it to the channel.

@@MessinaDance I like your teaching style, I'm intermediate and would like to know more details before committing to CNS, like a list of the videos, total length... that sort of stuff if you can disclose And thanks for the freebies on YT :)

Thanks my friend 🙌
