SalsaOn2 (New York Style/Mambo)
Salsa On2 (also known as New York Style Salsa or Mambo) is a linear, elegant dance style where dancers change direction—called the “break step”—on the second and sixth beats of the musical phrase. It is a more energetic dance compared to Bachata but more smooth and relaxed compared to other type of Salsa dances, i.e. Salsa LA Style or Cuban.
When large numbers of Cubans and Puerto Ricans migrated to New York, they brought these musical traditions to neighborhoods like Spanish Harlem and the South Bronx. There, musicians blended Cuban Son with Puerto Rican bomba and plena, Dominican merengue, and even jazz influences. The Fania Records label, founded in 1964, became crucial in promoting this fusion, which came to be marketed as “Salsa” – a catchy term that helped unify various Latin styles under one banner.
