About New York Style Salsa
New York Style Salsa, also called salsa on2 or mambo, developed in New York’s Latino neighborhoods during the 1960s and 70s. The style is danced in a line with steps on the two-beat, giving it a softer and more musical expression.
The movements are elegant and precise, with emphasis on timing, footwork, and body control. New York Style has strong ties to mambo and jazz and is known for its complex turn patterns, spins, and shines.
The style is defined by close interplay between the dancers and deep listening to the music. It is salsa in its most refined form.
