This was so validating. I tried talking about the timing difference with people when I started learning On2 & got blank stares, which baffled me since our steps are not uniformly distanced like On1. Thank you!
I think this is advanced concept. The average Joe who is taking a beginning Salsa class finds it much easier to dance/hear on one. Bcuz most peeps are not Latino and can't hear musically the percussion the way someone who has grown up listening to salsa
I've always danced on1 , but in 2024 girls like to dance on 2.. I have no trouble hitting the hard 2, but I'm trying to dance on a delayed action on the second Coo of the Coo Coo
I wish I could do his facial hair , That's some Prince shit ...lol....I would do a design with that facial hair
What you show is salsa on 3. On the second beat you make a pause
… sorry timbao should read tumbao meaning pattern
Completely agree with your approach to teaching the original mambo through the congas and the graphs and explanation of congas is really valuable. The explanation of the bass did seem to suggest the bass hits 4/5 and 8/1. Sometimes it does but not often and not in the examples you played. The classic bass timbao hits on the 2& then 4 ,6& then 8 - sometimes it does add in 1 and 5 to make it 1 2& 4 5 6& 8 (3 side of the clave repeated) but most of the time not. Hearing the bass hit just after your 2 and 6 step and slap bang on 4 and 8, along with the congas, are what mamboistas are dancing to and expressing in their bodies. Great videos - cudos for all you do.
It's a bit imprecise to say "You step on coo coo". Are we talking about touching the floor or transferring the weight? And in any case - is the step on first coo (8) or second coo (8and)? Or You touch the floor on 8 and transfer the weight on 8and and effectively You can prolong the steps into two full beats like doing one long step in cha cha cha (at 8-8and-1). You can do the upper body movement to accent the coo coo but finish the weight transfer on 1 so the 1-2-3, 5-6-7 would technically fit just fine.
That’s not ET on 2. That’s power 2.
I feel like this is making it more complicated (for me personally) isnt the only difference between 1 and 2 simply you start with the right leg rather than left so instead of starting the step with the left like you do on 1 you start with the right leg on the first beat then left leg on 2nd beat
Hey, I wondered, since you break forward on 2 and backwards on 6, I thought it was the other way round or does it depend on the timing? Also I found that your timing or counting approach is basically a cha cha timing right? Where the „8 and 1“ being the cha cha cha? Wo I wondered since I have never danced a cha cha, can cha cha only be danced on 2? Since the 1 and the 5 is within the cha cha chas? Wo you have the break steps always on 2 and 6? Or is there different timing approaches for the cha cha? And lastly, is there a way to break on 3 and 7 in salsa giving you an even longer pause or travel as in Zouk for instance?
Excellent video! Thank you for having the courage to share this information with us. Also, I amire your honesty in giving the credits to Ms. Irene Minguel for making you aware of the fact that the Eddie Torres Salsa On2 instruction has a discrepancy between what is said (123-567) and what is done (234-678)
Your explanation is too confusing. It feels like your in a math class. Simply put, you feel the music naturally. I spent 20 years in Cuba. Amazing dancers. They feel the music, showed them your video and they all agree it was all nonsense. They all learned by feeling the music, no counting, no one 1 or 2.
That is to say salsa basic on 2 consists of - one -pause, two - break, three - step on the spot and four - close. The fourth measure is Eddie`s starting step.
Now music starts on 8 and?
Hello, Edgard. Thanks for this video, if i discovered it a beat earlier i haven't to figured it by my self, what you explained here. My teacher told me that we dancing on two, but always started to count from one and it confuses me a lot. And i started to figure out by my self why it 's. When i came to teacher and say that i think that actually we start on 8 not 1 why than we count one, we in class changed the counting and started to count from 8. )) I'm started to go to salsa dance class a month ago and have a big struggle to find when to start to move (find that 8 beat). I know there some where have to be the congas, but in the most music i struggle to hear it. May be you can give some advice or practice exercises to develop this skill by my self at home. Thanks.
But isn't stepping on 4 and 8 Contra Tiempo as apposed to New York Style On2?
Hello, i am a cuban percusionist, not a great dancer baut what i realized is that this is just a way to step like in Son Cubano that starts also on Coo Coo, thats why sometimes it looks like he is dancing Son Cubano, wich mean that he didnt created something new, just adapted Cuban son to LA style
Can you make video showing us the feet as you talk?/play drum in side panel?
Hey, I watched your salsa timing videos and have a question. I also dance some Zouk which is basically a quick quick slow too, that starts with a back step on the slow which in Zouk is a down beat followed by a quick quick or „tschick tschick“ like in salsa, you probably know this. Now if I would dance the Zouk timing over a salsa song, I break back with the „slow“ on the 1 or the 8 rather so I land on the 7 break back on roughly the 8 in the front rather than the 6 as in salsa on 2. The 1 feels like it is somewhere in the middle of the backward slow step. And I also noticed, that it emphasizes the slow, also stretching it a bit and it feels like a shorter „quick quick“ if this makes sense? For some reason tho it feels extremely natural for some reason. You could try this if you just break back on the one and then just be like „dooom quick quick“… and so on. Then if you count over the steps you make, you might notice your break step from front to back is actually on the rather than 6. Am I dancing off beat or what am I dancing if dancing like this? it feels flowy 😄 Thanks in advance
Im trying to learn, but really have no idea what im looking at
Hard to understand if you don’t know basic music timing. Do you play an instrument? It’s basically describing where your feet land in relation to the music timing.
I have to tell you again you are one beautiful man. If i may, i learned on 2 . Timing Is important but being yourself and finding your own rhythm and style Is Just as important. I don't want to dance like everyone else
You are one beautiful man. I dance on 2 since 2004. God bless you. 😘
Fiinally I don´t feel like I´m totally missing the music! I haven´t explored much of your content but I would love to know better how to recognize when the music changes ...Thank you thank you for your clear good work.
Thank you boss 🥰🥰
Very well explain ..will follow thankyou..
It looks like Eddie is stepping after the coo -coo sound which means he is stepping on 1 and 5.
Yup, and if you talk to Eddie he'll say he's stepping on the 1
If you dance this kind of way, it's just contratiempo, it's a kind of on 2, but not the most popular version which is NY on 2, which is indeed counted on 123 567. Both ways are correct, don't say that one is real and imply the other one is "fake'.
Hi! Can you help me wrap my head around all this please? I am dancing cuban casino for a while and also son. This year I decided to expand with on2 so I began classes. Our teacher however doesn't teach us to step on the coco, or the 8 the way we do it on son. We truly begin on 1, break on 2 and then pause is on 4 and 8. Before I began classes many people told me "it's the son count, it's the same basically", but then at classes I found it quite different. Now, many materials on the internet, including this video, explain it exactly the way I expect it to be. I am glad that you commented that both are correct though because it was really confusing me. Do you know if there is any popular terminology used to describe both variants? I find it confusing that both are refered as on2, while they feel different. And another question - probably the ET way was the old school way, right? How come this other way (with the pause on 4 and 8) appeared and became so dominant?
@@yoanalexander Actually to this point I am a bit confused too, bcs different sources has different explains. I just call it the contratiempo timing or Son timing, coz there r many style using this timing, puerto rican mambo, palladium mambo. And begin on 1, break on 2 then pause on 4 and 8, this is NY on 2 no doubt. However sometimes I see the lead doing 234 678(breaking backward on 2), and the follower doing NY on 2 123 567, they don't interfere, they function together. And they would both call it NY on 2, it's correct if you follow this video's idea. Hope that helps.
@@rayscher thanks! I was in fact curious if they work together well.
@@rayscher I am curious to hear your opinion on the following. Could it be that the non-son on2 (start on 1 and break on 2) is popular because it's easier to teach? I mean, when I first began with Son I recall that it was a major brainfuck to understand that we start on 8. However, starting on 1 appears quite easy for beginners. Could it be that the 123,567 on2 variant is a simplification?
@@yoanalexander Exactly. At least from What I was told, Eddie Torres popularize this step on 1 break on 2 thing bcs it's easier to teach to the public, especially when many ppl are not familiar with salsa music thus can not find the conga rhythm. But he fall back to 234 678 after the first bar of the music, means he's only using the first step on 1 to initiate the basic step, however these day for some reasons I yet to discover, closing your steps on 1/5 became the NY on 2 official basic step. I am not 100% sure on this topic as well, other ppl feel free to correct me.
Why Eddie Torres dancing on 8 but teaching first step on 1?
How do you dance on 1 and cuban? Also on the conga?
Thank you for in depth analysis! But-- question- your last on 2 example has sow quick quick timing from Son Cubano. So Salsa can also use this timing?!
Hi! Really interesting video - thanks for putting in so much work to show the concept musically. I've just been watching Eddie Torres mambo instructional video in the 90s where he is clearly teaching 123 on2 mambo. Really great video - esp focusing on body movt rather than toes and hands teaching that seems so common now. ruclips.net/video/5PdyxQqXSI4/видео.html. ----- So question: Did he change his approach completely from 123 to coo coo step at a certain point in time or did he use them for different styles - i.e. coo coo step for Cuban style music as in your excerpt and 123 for NY jazz influenced salsa? Thanks
When dancing, why do you go forward on two???
I never ignore koong koong and i am a primarily on 1 dancer...
This lines up musically with American Rhythm Style Mambo, which breaks on 2/3 and steps 4, hold 1. ET just likes to start with the lead's back break on 2, instead of forward on 2, and dances a more linear style, versus the rotation in AR Mambo. Watching lots of "on-2" dancers who try to dance 1-2-3, 5-6-7, they usually fall into breaking on 1 like "on-1" style salsa, or dancing 2-3-4 like you described in this video, and how ET does in most videos, despite describing it as "1-2-3". I think "on-2" style with a move on 1, and break on 2, will fall out of popularity soon as most people like "on-1" or "2-3-4" timing better, because they naturally break quickly and then hold after the moving step, just accenting different styles of music. The whole "move-break-replace-stop" is just not very rhythmical, and people end up waltzing their salsa in an attempt to keep up with the timing. I'm glad to see someone trying to push "on-2" dancers to evolve (or really go back to the roots) of what works well. Dance innovation is great, but it has to make sense both physically and musically.
Eddie Torres and his wife are the prime example of the good NYC/PR style Salsa dancing. It's excellent way to get one's Aerobic workout...😇 When I dance I don't even count, just go with the flow... Happy New Years everyone... :)
I started my dancing journey one year ago. My teacher always tells me learn the music don't just steps. So I really appreciate this content!!!
Some teachers advocate listening to various instruments & their usually regular parts- tumbao, etc.
the problem that i see with this style is that i have noticed that many salsa artists get creative with the "cun-cun" and sometimes it's not really a "cun-cun" but just "cun"... so... that style would not be musically-accurate (in my opinion) to these songs...
When you are dancing on 8&-2-3 / 4&-6-7 are you not really stepping with the ball of your foot on the first eighth note (8 or 4) then lowering your heel on the & of the four or the eight... and finally shifting your weight on the 1 or the 5? This means that the 8&1/4&5 steps are as long as the 2-3 or 6-7 steps. This gives the slow - quick - quick impression. Just my On2 cents. ;)
Discovered it some time ago by myself... but to be honest what it truly is - it's a mix of ET and palladium counts. You move the leg already at 8 but defacto switch weight on 1. Universal way of dancing is having 2-3 and 6-7 as it is and the remaining steps to do (change weight) anywhere between 4 and 5 or 8 an 1 respectively. From strict weight change point of view - You still dance as You called it - ET version ;) It is a lot easier to get and align to any of those counts if someone dances cha cha cha/boogaloo as well ;)
Wow thnx. I’m trying to learn the initial steps and I think I found the perfect videos to simply learn it the right way from the beginning. A friend mentioned to me the conga rhythm a bit but I’m not sure he specifically said to start on the coo-coo rather right after
Great!!
Very interested. I can see how this would change the syncopation of the danse. Yes, you start earlier on the first and third bars which give you more time between the & and the "slap." Cool, now how will I ever retrain my muscle memory to do this naturally. Yet another On2 challenge after mastering the transition from On1 to On2, meaning On2 on 1-2-3. Cheers.
The melody starts on 1, also stepping on 1 first makes the transition to 2 smoother. Therefore “ET style” 123, even if not pure on2, is a way to be connected to both melody and rhythm in a smoother way. It’s a preference, both timings have they pros and cons.
Good video! Thank you for putting this info together. Are you still making videos about dancing on 2?
Bro, this would have been a whole lot more easier to understand if you actually had someone playing the conga beat
Thank you Edgard, for me you address the 'elephant in the room' of Salsa On2 basics and musicality! I discovered what you teach here over many years and also struggled for a long time because of ignoring the 4 and the 8 counts. What helped me eventually was becoming thoroughly familiar with Cha cha cha and a little familiar with Son and ballroom Rumba timing. But until your video, I found no one addressing the fact that so many excellent dancers do what Eddie and Maria do here. Bookmarked and subscribed, I salute you!
It's not right, that nothing happens on 4 and 8 in Eddie torres style. You move a lot shifting your whole body und hips as well. that nrabs a kot if flow. you can even dance different phrasing. there is actually lesser difference between your approach and palladium the you talking about, it's just phrasing, thete is no difference between placing steps. so i disagree stringly with your explanation. by the way which basic i prefer is a matter of the music. old school Mambo fit's Palladium style your approach is good for son montuna music and so on ... anyways its good to talk about such things. maybe you can think things through again.
Gracias maestro muy buena clase.
Amazing thank you
Mind blown right now. I finally understand the difference! Thanks for breaking it down!
