How To Dance Salsa On2 | Salsa New York Style | Mambo

In this video you are going to learn how to dance salsa on2, on 3 different ways.
You may see other Salsa dancers cutting up the rug and wonder what style are they dancing?!
As you know, there are quite a few styles of Salsa - Salsa On1, Salsa On2, Colombian style, traditional style, etc
There are also different ways to dance the same style!
We mainly teach Salsa On2 at our studio and Online school, also known as “NY Style,” but we teach it differently than 1,2,3...5,6,7
We like to help you train your ear to the instruments, so you have something to connect to on the dance floor instead of the numbers in your head!
Don’t get me wrong, numbers and structure are very important, but listening to the music and understanding how to play with different parts are too!
This is dancing!

This was so helpful for me! I was so hung up the steps and counts when dancing on2. This helps me realize that if I just follow the flow /style the lead is going with, and feel the music with that connection, it's all good! Thank you!

[@robertofalck]

Thank you Joel and Maria. This is a great explanation of the subtleties of dancing on2. This video explains very well why some dancers look different even if they are dancing on the same “style”. I’ve been dancing for years… and didn’t put 2 and 2 together until I saw this ;)

[@Tom9111]

Incredibly helpful explanation of a small but CRUCIAL detail! When I transitioned from on1 to on2 it took me years to work this out. Fantastic video, thank you!

[@chrispann5274]

Echo the slap on the conga...

[@nuriyaalmaya]

Buenísimo vídeo y autentico!!! Gracias 🙏🏽 PD Yo encuentro que muchas veces en 234, 678 cuadra excelente con mambo de los años 1950’s.

[@stepndance]

Very good! Now, The beauty is to understand that there is different variations that one can use to express and interpret salsa music when dancing dancing Salsa ... The fact is that is all in the music, the more you know about salsa music and rhythm the better dancer you’ll become … Here is a phrase that falls into the basic Salsa rhythm .. 😉 Tiene-Que-Comer | Cafe-Con-Pan l

[@Fantastic_Timez]

as a conguero I know understand why I prefer one way over the other haha. Fantastic video.

[@ObrienJeff9]

What you call "Power 2 Or popular style" It what is was called " Palladium style," and it is the correct way to dance mambo 2,3,4....6,7,8.

[@crocodiclub]

Thanks for the physical interpatation of the rhythm !!

[@humbercorrea2020]

Gracias x conpartir esta genial clase !!! Abrazo grande!!!!

[@AmericanPTstuttgart]

Wow! Amazing video!! So cool how you clarified how one can dance or mark the a song that has a strong Montano on it “1” with the on “2” feeling

[@vinicios2083]

Gracias!! , porfavor subtitulen mas videos demuestran su verdadera pasiòn por enseñar un fuerte abrazo😃

[@michaelstafford5848]

You are both brilliant and generous. I an inspired by your explanations. Thank you

[@happyagain855]

Oh man what a great explanation. Your number two song is how I feel the music with the campana on 1. They always say that they don't know what I'm dancing. Use to be a drummer so I feel the 1 count very strong. Thanks for your video because now I know what's going on.

[@dorobokino]

AMAZING video, thanks for clarifying things for a newer dancer like me who loves On2. I love it all the more now, knowing the different rhythmical ways I can play with the same core dance :)

[@essenceofelq]

This video appeared on my feed. I was curious and observed it. Power 2 and what you explain as dancing to the conga is the same. Both ways fall on 234-678. This has all been done before and has been known as Palladium 2. Also, all three styles have the 2 & 6 in the same place. If you've ever watched Eddie Torres social dance as I have years back he reverts back to Palladium 2. I could go more in depth on other counts for salsa as I've taught all of them but I'll keep it here.

[@alejandrolimache9518]

Thanks for addressing the different styles for breaking on2

[@JoelSalsaNY]

Thank you!

[@apryllemelodysuyo2072]

Love it!

[@MocaClimabyPeppeMorra]

Bravissimi , noi stiamo imparando NY qui a Napoli (Italy) . Ciao da Peppe

[@ddawgncc2]

Great explanations!

[@nikolassepos1640]

exactly what i needed! excellent, thank you.

[@nyanza88]

Blew my mind

[@SalsaBailaProductions]

Great on2 intro

[@JoelSalsaNY]

Thank you!

[@rianmonnahan]

Thanks for the video. Very useful... I started On1 (LA style) years ago then transitioned to On2 (NY - Eddie Torres style, ie. 123-567) and now am trying to move on to the tumbao timing (8&-2-3 ... 4&-6-7). Oh is it difficult to re-train muscle memory! If I ever get back to NY, I'd love to take some private lessons with you guys.

[@93BlackViper]

Very good explanation

[@big10]

As just a suggestion, it would've been more helpful to demonstrate with the music near the start of the video, rather than waiting to the last few minutes. I also wanted to see you dance the same song different ways, to emphasize your opinion of what fits the music better. Anyway, thanks for posting this video!

[@leanna107]

This was great, thanks

[@SheikhAlladeen]

alto nivel ! Tienen k venir a Suiza

[@coffyemmanuel]

Hey guys all love from Miami , I got a question .. I’ve been using the dance dojo online program for about 3 years now . But I want to expose myself to different teachers and I love your KZbin videos so far . I’m thinking of purchasing your online program. Anyway my question is , I’ve been counting in my head for three years 123, 567 .. personally for yourself what do you count in your head ? 123, 567 or 8&123, 4567 or 8&123, 4&567

[@gillesbuvat5865]

Excellent!

[@astisumarti1424]

I like this

[@MrSilverfish12]

The power two, how does that go in relation to the conga. If my understanding correct, the slap of the conga is always on the 2 and the 6. Also since son is the parent dance wouldnt that make power two the historically correct way of timing mambo? I don't want to start arguements. Just curious because I really find it difficult sometimes to fit moves into the music.

[@samssufi44]

Very Nice

[@oscarmendoza4823]

I love dancing with the conga, the cadence feels more playful as it is a little more syncopated.

[@leonardlevy8811]

That's a great video though I wish you had an example for 'power 2" as well. It leaves me with a question though . As a leader if i ask a woman I haven't practiced with to dance . Will she be confused if don't say dance Eddie Torres Style? (Incidently I'm a San Francisco dancer more used to On1 wondering how to dance if i visit a NYC club?

[@kaylon1239]

What is the name of the song that start at 16:41?

[@rubensanabria1018]

That song is hot. I’m curious to know the name of that song myself.

[@losrumberosmexico716]

What's the name of the songs?

[@areannanixon3335]

The last song please?

[@ciudaddetlaxcala9895]

la de pichón parece contra clave; es decir, sincopar la melodía; en el 15:38 se nota ¿cómo agarras esa pausa?

[@16nowhereman]

Make sense to me. I just can't move that fast yet.

[@zulyv.1269]

Great video! Thanks 🥰 quick question ❓ why do I break On3? What is it that I hear that prompts me to break, always i fall back to 3. Am I hearing the 1 wrong? Your thoughts greatly appreciated ❤️

[@danceking40]

You are probably hearing the 1 wrong. When conga goes cung-cung , that's either 4 -& or 8- &. When you hear the hard slap sound, that's a 2 or a 6. You don't hear the "1" but you know it immediately follows the cung-cung and comes before the slap. Hope that helps.

[@alexanderjacob1008]

i thought as a lead you still step back with your left like on 1

[@Aperazzo_Salsa_Pics]

If "salsa on one" is defined as the style where the leader steps their "breakout" with left to the front on the one count, the styles you show in the clip are basically salsa on 6. (The breakout is danced on 6.) A more logical and perhaps natural way to dance salsa on 2 is by skipping the one count and have the leader dance the breakout (place left foot forward) on the 2 count. AFAIK this way is called Razmatas. If the shown way is indeed salsa on 2, than salsa on one (LA-style) is basically salsa on 3. This, as in the shown style(s), no step is taken on the one count. Which in LA is what takes place on the 3 count.

[@Bleyluige]

ET " on2" isr eally on 1. On 2dancers do not step on 1 or 5. If you want o dance to the congas is fine but what about the piano, the trunpets, the cowbell that hit the one and the five. Do we ignored that??

[@goojohnrdancer1503]

Most of the salsa dance music these days , the conga sound is NOT obvious anymore. It is hard to sync with conga

[@ObrienJeff9]

You do not hear the conga too much these day just because song are written on clave 3-2 ( better say, song this day are written on one); Mambo is written on clave 2-3 ( better say "on 2" and the conga sound is loud). The correct way to dance : if the song is written on one, you dance on one; if the song is written on 2 you dance on two.

[@1386SalsaDancer]

@@ObrienJeff9 thanks ! that makes my dance easier instead of focusing on the Conga sound

[@danceking40]

Actually, I find it easier to listen to the gong-gong, but hard to hear the slap on 2 and 6.

[@luismalik2954]

Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖

[@JhannonWells-pr7dk]

🛂❤️✋💨☝️👑

[@closetcleaner]

I like the other one better. Not the other, but the oooother other.

[@vgcbeograd]

Guys, great content and videos, you dance amazing. But, video is 20mins, on average you are 15-20. Imo, keep it 5-7, we dont have time for it, cut the talk a bit, life is fast, I need one more extra for your videos, if you catch my cuncun😊

[@youtuub]

simplest way to explain is : tungtung musics I generally refer them as "on1 music" , because it's very recognizable and they pose at the center... whereas song that has montuno will be more in tune with on2 dance and is more melodic in general like with more spanish horns and keyboard for example. now one can dance on2 in tungtung music of course by not posing in the center but with feet apart. do you see how simple my explanation is? i dance both for years. but i do concur with you that on2 dancers are not afraid of tungtung music and can mimic on1 dancers but with feet apart at all time. on the other hand on1 dancers will find on2 music intimidating and complicated, they can't really handle it in a dance at all thus they don't play on2 music at all. they will keep playing same on1 music over and over again night after night.

[@daisyrivera7733]

Too much talking

[@angiek70]

Very confusing. I dance on 1 and likely to continue as these "cum cum" and "pararam" don't make you understand the concept.

[@closetcleaner]

I like the other one better. Not the other, but the oooother other.

[@AngelRodriguez-wl7gx]

Hi..this is Angel Rodiguez from Razzmtazz..thank you for the mention..god bless..dance forever😊
