Learn to Dance Salsa this week

When I first started dancing salsa I was so confused when people talked about dancing ON1 or ON2....calm down....... its just two different styles of Salsa.  There are many!
So out here in Las Vegas for the most part we dance ON1 or LA style.  It's when you ladies start with your right foot back on the first count of the music, men forward with your left.  ON2 is also known as New York Style or East Coast style.  The beat is the same, 1 2 3, 5 6 7 but ladies start 1 on the right in place and then forward on 2 with the left foot.  It creates a different pattern and gives a lot more room for styling and "sabor" or flavor. LA style has a lot more large movements as well as tricks whereas NY style is more about the "feeling" behind the dance, or so Ive been told...lol  I have not learned to dance ON2 yet.
Either way, here are two great opportunities for you to learn one or both styles.   I will be attending the workshop on Friday night with world famous dancers Adolfo Indacochea and Carla Vosconi They will be teaching ON2.  Sign up here to register in advance or purchase at the door on friday night.

If you are interested in taking beginning salsa classes (ON1) here in Las Vegas, Groupon is running a special for $30 for 6 classes at Broadway Hall Click the Groupon link to purchase! This deal ends Thursday night 8/25/2011
