Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about salsa? You are not alone! Here is your quick guide:

Salsa Styles Explained: LA vs NY vs Cuban vs Rueda
  • LA Style (On1): Fast, flashy, and full of spins. This is what you will see in most U.S. clubs and classes. It breaks "on 1" (the first beat), travels in a line, and looks sharp and performance-ready.
  • NY Style (On2): Also called "Mambo Style", it is danced on the second beat. Smoother and more rhythm-focused, NY style emphasizes musicality and shines. You will find it in serious social dance circles and New York's iconic salsa scene.
  • Cuban Style (Casino): Circular, grounded, and flavorful. Cuban salsa incorporates Afro-Cuban body movement and is often danced in a relaxed, natural frame. It feels more social, less structured.
  • Rueda de Casino: A fun, fast-paced group version of Cuban salsa. Dancers form a circle and perform synchronized moves called out by a leader. Think "Simon Says" but spicy.

What to Expect in Your First Class
  • You do not need a partner
  • You will learn basic steps, rhythm, and turns
  • Classes usually begin with warm-ups and footwork
  • Most instructors rotate partners – so you will meet others
  • Expect some laughs, a few stumbles, and lots of fun

Studio, Club, or Private Class?
Choose what fits your mood, schedule, and learning style – or mix and match!
  • Studios: Structured, progressive classes with professional instruction. Great for building skill over time.
  • Clubs & Socials: Learn in a casual setting with live music or DJs. More vibe, less structure. Perfect for practicing what you learn.
  • Private Lessons: One-on-one coaching tailored to your goals. Ideal if you want to progress quickly or focus on specific techniques.

Salsa vs Bachata vs Merengue – What is the Difference?
  • Salsa: Fast, vibrant, full of spins. Lots of footwork and partner connection. Complex music layered with horns, percussion, and clave.
  • Bachata: Slower, smoother, more romantic. Originating from the Dominican Republic, it uses a side-to-side step and lots of hip motion.
  • Merengue: The simplest of the three. March-like steps, easy to pick up, and often the first Latin dance people learn. Great for beginners.
