| Hva er Salsa!? |
Salsa betyr "saus" på spansk og ble brukt som et kommersielt begerep først i 70- årene i New York. Begerepet har selvfølgelig eksistert lenge før det. Det ble brukt blant annet når publikum ville at et band skulle sette opp farten og energien. Da ropte folk Salsa, Salsa....
NB!
Salsa kan verken snakkes eller diskuteres.
Den kan KUN DANSES! Så dans og ha det gøy. Livet er allerrede for kort fra før av.
A RESUME OF THE MOST FAMOUS STYLES OF SALSA! (By SalsaSite)
Salsa is a commercial name that covers dozens of music and dance styles.
If we think of which instruments of the music we emphazise (break on), we can separate Salsa in 3 big groups:
Salsa On2, Salsa On1 and Cuban Casino.
We teach these 3 styles at SalsaSite. Check schedule .
Salsa On 2:
We emphasize (break on) the second beat of the music (the upbeat), moving mostly in line and using solo steps as well. We dance in harmony with the Congas (drums of Salsa), and the Clave. These are known as the most important instruments of Salsa.
The following Salsa/ Mambo styles break On2:
New York Style On2 (Eddie Torres Style or Night Club Style), Classic Mambo, Ballroom Mambo, Cuban Son, and Puerto Rican style (which can be danced On2 or On1 or On3).
The most famous of these 4 is the Eddie Torres Style. He is the king of this dance and has created it in the late 70's. His dance is also called "Night Club Style", because the dance is very compact, using a few space on the dance floor. It's a dance rich in elements and smooth at the same time. It's considered 'The Evolution of Salsa'. It can also be danced in a ring (Jamboree), where we change partners while dancing. We do double and triple turns, and even faster multiple spins for the advanced dancers. To create this ecletic and breathtaking style, Eddie Torres blend beautifully dances such as Cuban Son, Classic Mambo, Lindy Hop, Jazz, and aslo a little ballet, a little tap, a little modern, and came out with his own style. Most of the salsa dancing On1 known today got a lot of influence from Eddie Torres style On2. He is known as the teacher of the teachers. Click here to read more about Eddie.

Our Salsa N.Y. Style On2 Class Program:
The 8 hours beginner course is dedicated to teach you the basic structure of Salsa New York Style On2.
The steps are: basics in a line, single right turn, cross body lead (CBL), CBL inside turn and CBL outside turn, intro to jamboree (ring), variations to all steps, mini-routines with all steps.
If you have learned other salsa styles before, you need to take this course from the beginning anyhow. Ask the teacher how you are doing after the first class, to see if you can take salsa beg 2 at the same time.
The Improver & Intermediate courses will teach you the standard turn patters for you to be able to dance this style comfortably in any big city in the world.
The Advanced courses will challenge you to innovate and interpret the music, as well as introduce more complicated turn patters and body movements.
Salsa On 1:
We emphasize (break on) the first beat of the music (the heartbeat/ downbeat), using solo steps as well.
The following Salsa/ Mambo styles break On1:
Los Angeles Style, Puerto rican Style On1, European Style, London Style, Israeli Style, Colombian Style, Cuban Style, etc. Except in the 2 last ones, we move in line, we do double and triple turns, and even faster multiple spins for the advanced dancers.

Cuban Casino:
We emphasize (break on) the first or third beat of the music (the heartbeat), mostly moving around each other while doing the turn patterns. The strongest influence is afro-cuban. It can also be danced in a ring (Rueda Casino), where all couples are doing the same steps, and we change partners while dancing.
