For someone just starting to dance salsa and wondering what is the difference between salsa on 1 and salsa on 2, here is the answer. Salsa music has eight beats. If the dance is on the first beat of the music, it is called salsa on one or Los Angeles style. If the dance is on the second beat of the music, it is called salsa on two (mambo) or New York style. In Phoenix most classes and social dances are on one. It is easier to learn and to lead and, hence, more popular. Majority of beginner to intermediate salsa dances in Phoenix as a rule dance on one, while experienced dances usually know both styles.
