Many salsa schools in Bristol, Gloucester, Bath, and Cardiff teach “Salsa On1”, sometimes also called “Salsa LA style” or “Linear Salsa” or just “Salsa”. On the other hand, many urban centres with thousands of high-quality dancers, such as London, Amsterdam, Berlin and many other places on the world have *HUGE* Salsa On2 communities. Most famous salsa superstars that you see on Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram, and Facebook dance Salsa On2!

So, what is Salsa On2 all about? The typical “1, 2, 3 – 5, 6, 7” is the same. However, Salsa On2 is different in that the forward/backward step is not on 1 and 5, but on 2 and 6. This changes much more than you think!

For example, it means that many turns get prolonged “across” the common resting beat 4 or 8. In other words, Salsa On2 often gives you a full beat extra to execute the exact same turn. Many followers find this much nicer and smoother. Another huge difference is that the forward/backward step on beat 2/6 means you connect much more with the dynamic music instead of the typically static beats. Finally, in Salsa On2 many follower turns begin on beat 1 instead of beat 5 (check it yourself: when does the follower right turn actually begin in Salsa On1? Indeed, beat 5!). This often intuitively makes more sense for both followers and leaders.
