There are certain technical elements to be aware of when wanting to convert Salsa On1 to Salsa On2. It's not as simple as just keeping up with the On2 timing... its a lot deeper than that!
Join us to learn all about it, and why it is so incredibly popular to dance Salsa/Mambo "On2" all over the world!
You will be a "complete" Salsa dancer once you master and understand the "On2" timing.
