Different mindsets of on-1 and on-2 dancers in UK

January 25, 2006


Table above summarizes Salsa workshop schedule for non-beginners at Brit Salsafest. On-1 dancers would appear to have much greater interest in turn patterns whereas on-2 dancers place more emphasis on shines and body movement and other technical aspects of the dance. It's unclear why Cuban body movement was categorized as on-1 intermediate as opposed to Cuban intermediate or advanced. Also I wonder if it'd be okay for me to take an advanced on-2 class (body movement) even though I have next to no experience with on-2? I'm also considering taking part in as few as 2 or 3 on-1 turn pattern classes (assuming I try to maximize my use of the workshops).
