Alternatively known as dancing “On 2″, this title refers to the beat the dancers ‘break’ on. For Leaders they break back On 2 and forward On 6 – followers mirror this. Popularized by Instructor Eddie Torres, New York Style has been the style of choice for most professional dancers at any Salsa Congress. New York Style “On 2″ timing differs from other styles in that it is firmly connected with the tumbao pattern of the conga drum as opposed to the downbeat of the cowbell. Routines and social dances often include ’shines’ where the dancers separate and ‘do their own thing’ by showcasing footwork, hand styling, and body isolations. The preffered salsa music for On2 is known as Salsa Dura, which places focus on musicality and percussion.
