New Salsa On2 Classes
The Pros of Learning How to Dance On2:
- You will become a more proficient, confident and versatile dancer.
- Knowing more styles of dance enables you to dance with more people.
- You to learn and experience new ways of moving/ feeling the music.
- Your chances for enjoying "a good dance" automatically increase.
By not attempting to learn dancing Salsa On2 simply equates to having less dances, which leads to less chances- of that "one dance" that completes your night- to take place!
David B Stein, my Best Friend and Director of Majesty In Motion Dance Company, told me once over 7 years: "Trust me Juan! You want to learn how to dance On2". I replied: "Why? Only about ten people dance On2 here in San Diego". Today, that is no longer the case. A high percentage of today's social dancers dance "On2". Many also dance "On1", while some are proficient at both styles.
Being able to dance on2 assuming you can already dance on1 will make you a better dancer. You will increase your musical intelligence to know how to find the one beat or the two beat. Also you will at the same time coordinate your body to change the rhythm of the mambo style and increase your body control.
I am glad today I followed David's advice. Learning and understanding both styles led me to excel as a dancer. Come learn yourself!! Stop rejecting or avoiding dancing another style simply because you don't know it, instead learn it and become proficient at both styles. This will impress other dancers by reflecting your capabilities of accommodating to their choice of dance style.
