Salsa On2 Basic Timing
Hey everyone!
Ok – Here is a very quick instructional video of Salsa On2 below. Now, in class, we have learnt the basic movements but next week we will be learning the special Salsa/Mambo On2 timing. Even though we have been starting ‘on 2′ the timing really comes from which step is being held. On1 holds in the middle of the basic step (as we have been doing at the moment in class) but On2 holds on the ‘back’ of a rock-step. This makes the On2/NY Salsa more rhythmical. So… have a look at the timing and see if you can pic it up before class 
.
You might have noticed that he is naming a step wrong…lol. The guy calls a ‘crossover’ but he is actually doing a 5th position break.
One thing that will help you with the timing is by calling the step differently. In the Salsa industry it is common to count to 8 leaving out the numbers that you hold on. I find this confuses people when learning so to help you with the On2 timing think to yourself while you practise “1-rock-hold2. 1-rock-hold2″. We will use this call in class next week.
Practise! Practise! Practise!
