Salsa On1 vs On2 Timing

This video will briefly describe the difference between dancing salsa on on1 timing compared to dancing salsa on2 timing. The main difference is on which step do you 'break' when doing the basic salsa dance step. This is one of the most common questions we get, and we decided to answer it in video form.

Practice tip

Practice this material with counts first and music second. Once the rhythm feels steady, add expression without letting the timing drift.

Why this helps on the social floor

Stronger rhythm awareness helps every other part of salsa. Even if the move itself is simple, better timing makes the whole dance look calmer and more confident.
