Salsa On2 * Merengue * SalsaSculpt

Salsa On2

New York Club Style Salsa is also known as "Salsa On2" or "dancing on 2".  Although there are many different names for this style of salsa (Eddie Torres Style, Mambo On2, etc), there is the basic foundation in this On2 style which means we change body direction, move, or break on 2.   We don't move on the 1st count, "1"...we prepare our movements on "1"-in the body, and actually take flight on the 2nd count, or "2"(we also move on the 6th count, as well).  This style of dancing salsa is well known and has a certain exclusivity to the salsa dancers of New York.  This is mambo, danced forward and back, in a line or slot, not side to side or in a circle or square.  See a sample of dancing on2...the one and only Eddie and Maria Torres.

Learn to Dance Salsa...no need to be nervous, just have fun with it.  Our classes place a focus on the basics, footwork, and patterns.  Ladies, you'll learn how to style your body, spin, and follow...basically command the dance floor :) - Guys, you'll learn to lead, spin, and put style to your patterns...  You will learn the deep sound of salsa, your ear will be trained to hear and absorb the music so that your dancing will be pronounced and powerful.

Merengue

Merengue...it has got speed, simple turn patterns, and wow, does it tone your mid section too.  Ladies and Gentlemen, do you get confused when your partner turns you on the dance floor during this up beat style of music?, well let Mark and I teach you the way of the Merengue dance.  See Merengue in action-we spice this up.
