WHAT IS SALSA ON 2
Salsa on 2, also known as New York Style Salsa, is a popular partner dance that emphasizes musical timing, rhythm, and fluid partner connection. Danced “on 2,” this style hits the break on the second beat of the music, creating a smooth and syncopated feel. Salsa on 2 blends Afro-Caribbean roots with influences from jazz, mambo, and Latin street styles—making it both deeply rooted and constantly evolving. It’s a vibrant, expressive dance that’s become a staple of NYC’s social dance scene and continues to grow around the world.
