    A disturbing experience

    What do you mean by "on 1 NY?". I've never heard anyone from NY use that term. Are you referring to a style of On1 that is not as sharp and big as LA style? I agree that the "1" (in ET2) can be used to add elasticity to the CBL and make it more dynamic or powerful, use it set up specific...

    "Salsa" Remakes Exposed

    Although technically not salsa, I've heard this song by the JuJu Orchestra in a few socials. It is based on Astor Piazzolla's "Escualo".

    Is Salsa dancing (globalized slot version) is an American art form?

    I completely agree. I don't have a problem with NY salsa dancing (or even NY salsa music) being considered 'American' as long as the contributions of the immigrant Latino communities don't get whitewashed. Of course, NY salsa dancing is different from Cuban dance; especially clear when one...

    Musicality in on2 dancing

    While Terry hits the "1" at 0:45, he's still dancing On2. Please note that he extends his left leg after exiting the multiple turns and resumes partnerwork by 0:51, all while maintaining leader's footwork. @HiJackSalsa, as other Forum members have mentioned, it is true dancing ET On2...

    Best Studios in NY

    That's because the shines are portions of their "Tribute to Eddie Torres" choreography set to Cortijo's "Agua que va caer", not the best song for practicing a new shine pattern!

    Salsa dancing in Seattle

    Sorry to be a Debby Downer, but prepare to be disappointed! The Monday social tends to be poorly attended. When I lived it Seattle (until 4 months ago), I would only go to Mambo Pica Pica, AVS, and Century on non-AVS nights if I didn't have anything better to do. Glad to hear you had a good...

    "Salsa" Remakes Exposed

    Actually, some would argue that the original is Cachao's Chanchullo. You've probably heard the story. (go to 33 min. mark).

    Clave Cross in My Favorite Things (La 33)?

    The term is 'clave license' if I recall correctly. Timberamayor has previously illustrated this point with Issac Delgado's 'No me mires a los ojos'.
