    Dancing On3

    Not sure that helps you, but I'd describe "on 3" as the "a tiempo" sibling of son timing. And that as such, "on 3" is a bit of a misnomer because the emphasis isn't on the break step (3, 7) but on the third step of each triple (1 and 5). The gentleman in red in this video from that salsa...

    Son montuno dance

    On this undead website salsa-merengue.co.uk, I ran across this article detailing a son montuno dance rhythm: https://www.salsa-merengue.co.uk/VidTutor/rhythm/son_phrasing_part_three.html I had never heard of this before. Do any of you happen to know of some references for this adaptation of...

    That kinda sounds like they want to facilitate leaving together (unless the orgy starts on the dance floor)

    Co-opting of the "mambo"

    Personally, I feel clave much more than the tumbao, tumbao is largely flat to me. If I practice without music, I'm almost always vocalising clave.

    Co-opting of the "mambo"

    This young mambo teacher Diego Rivera (think he's out of Empire?) claims that mambo era dancing was "in clave" proper, stepping 2 3 5 6 6& 8. I'm sure he's just regurgitating what he's been told, judging by his very vague and dubious music history. But interesting nevertheless.

    Radio interview with Arsenio Rodriguez

    Worth listening to just to hear his voice, but the content is worth it too Some topics - the songs Bruca maniguá and Como traigo la yuca / La yuca de Catalina (a lot of laughter for the latter, didn't understand everything) - the meaning and history of the term "mambo" - planning a tour of his...

    A partner dance that's based on timing is canned choreography

    I guess you can keep your EUR 3.50 water bottle and refill it at the bathroom tap?

    How to know if you're learning actual casino - the messianic complex

    This touches on something I noticed recently. I deduce from this description that the instructor was aligning the basic to clave, regardless of musical 1 vs 5. So the lead steps left-right-left on the 2-side, right-left-right on the 3-side -- if the song is in 2-3 clave that would be standard...
