Salsa City Forum » Salsa Music and Dance » Dancing on the 1 or the 2?

Well, I promise you what I wrote is an accurate description of what's on the video, as far as that goes. I just wanted to get on record that I was wrong earlier in the thread.

Hugh,

You said it - didn’t you? “ET looks as if it was simply made to be simply different” and here we are back to my origional point concerning Salsamafia.com which says a-hem “On Two dancers just want to be that little bit different.”

I can kinda agree with Brendan about less room. Loosing the “backstep” prevents a lot more encroachment but I can see Hugh’s view as well as you can fly across the floor with the time you potentially “save” but wait for this new bit of news...

Was talking to Paul G-S on Monday who says that in Cuba “On 2” is soooo last year darling! Now they’re dancing “on 3”!!! OMG! Don’t ask how, or why... (sad people) I didn’t get it, HE DIDN’T GET IT but that’s the new thing. Ha ha ha.

That's nothing...

Some dancers I've seen are amazing they dance on the 1 the 2 the 3 the 4 the 5 the 6 the 7 & the 8 and at any point within one dance... I'm just assuming they must be the real professionals.

Yes, there were a few of those in the Toad last night...
