SALSA ON 1 vs. SALSA ON 2... What's the difference?

Sophie Cazeneuve from Salsa New York explains the fundamental difference between Salsa "On 1" and "On 2" styles.

What a great visual & thoughtful video on clarifying, thank you lots!

The difference is more about timing instead starting direction.
It was missing to mention that Salsa on 2 gets its name because the accent is in the step 2 and 6 while in Salsa on 1 those are quick and short steps.

At my firts dance school i learned salsa on1
At my currant dance school they dance salsa on2
Thanks for this video!
now i know i did learned it correct but just a diffirant style

[nickquik]

Ok. I was confused at first. But now I understand.... she said she was going to show the footwork with n distinction of the follower or leader. I missed that part and it made it seem like 6 different type of foot work....ok so the first two footwork, on1 was leader footwork and on2 was follower. The last 4 was on1 leader and follower and on2 was leader and follower....

You explained it the way an on1 Cuban salsa dancer can understand....

Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

[nikitam]

If i understood correct then.. just say... on ! first goes left foot on 2 first goes right foot. Right?

[OnTwoFan]

Why is the reason that On 2 the leader has to step back on the second beat ?with Razz M'Tazz Mambo Style the leader starts forward on2

[Smoove_papii]

Her salsa on2 beat is correct but when you step your 1 it should be slightly in front of your left not parallel to it. Same with partner work you should start with your left foot slightly in front of your right

Would be better if you used a microphone headset. Can't hear you well.

[giovanniflormoran]

Awesome, i got it ...may u star turning on 2..?

[alexavalladares]

No hablo inglés pero te entendí perfectamente :)

[breakthroughmoment]

I dance on 1 because it seems easier. Would you agree?

[lisozonder]

So confusing, the lady always starts with the right foot backwards!

[diegovlogs]

mmm i dont think thats salsa on2, shes stepping at 1 and 5 while on2 is 234 678
