Salsa on-1 (La Style)
What is Salsa On-1?
Salsa On 1, also known as LA Style, is a dynamic and energetic dance style that hails from the sunny streets of Los Angeles. It is characterised by its smooth, linear movements and is often considered a fantastic choice for beginners. Salsa On1 is all about connecting with the music, showcasing intricate footwork; and creating a sense of ‘flash’, ‘flamboyance’, and ‘flow’ on the dance floor.
Why Choose Salsa On-1?
- Beginner-Friendly: If you're new to Salsa, LA Style is an excellent starting point. Its basic steps are easy to grasp, helping you build a strong foundation quickly.
- Expressive: LA Style allows you to infuse your own personal style into your dancing, making each performance unique.
- Versatile: Whether you're dancing at a club, a social event, or a formal gathering, Salsa On 1 is adaptable to different settings.
Urban Salsa is renowned for teaching Salsa On1 and developing beginners into exceptional dancers from Levels 2 and up. Salsa On1 classes at Urban Salsa are on every Sunday and Wednesday evening – check out our timetable and term dates for further information.
Which style of Salsa is right for you?
Choosing between Salsa On1 (LA Style) and Salsa On2 (New York/Mambo style) ultimately depends on your personal preferences and dance goals.
On1 / LA Style is ideal for beginners
Salsa On1 is ideal for beginners or those completely new to Latin dancing and looking for a more relaxed introduction to Salsa.
New York / Mambo style ideal for music lovers
Salsa On2 is ideal for more experienced dancers looking to challenge themselves and grow, or those with a very strong sense of rhythym and musicality.
In On1 dancing, you learn to dance “On” the rhythm and count, whereas with On2 dancing you learn to dance IN the rhythm because On2 dancing is inextricably linked to specific musical instrument(s) throughout the song.
Remember, there's no "one size fits all" answer when it comes to Salsa. Both styles offer unique experiences and challenges. The best way to decide is to try both and see which one resonates with you the most. Whichever style you choose, Urban Salsa is here to support you on your exciting dance journey.
