Bachata Lesson and Salsa on 2 Lesson with Michael John Saltus of Positive Energy Dance Company.

Bachata is a style of romantic music originating in the Dominican Republic.

On2 salsa timing is commonly known as New York style. While the old school Paladium-era dancers danced On2 to beats 2-3-4, 6-7-8, the most common way of dancing On2 these days is called “Modern Mambo,” danced to beats 1-2-3, 5-6-7 (the same beats as On1). Modern Mambo was popularized by Eddie Torres and is known for its more suave feel and complex turn patterns.
