It was popularized by Eddie Torres, who helped formalize the timing of the dance. On-2 salsa is a style of salsa where the dancers take their break step on the second beat of the measure (“on 2”), as opposed to the first beat ("on 1").Instructor: Evan FloresOriginally from New York City, Evan Flores learned how to dance at the famous Nieves Dance School. There, he learned how to dance Salsa On-2, and eventually performed with the team at many events around New York and Long Island. Now he's here in Columbus to share the passion of Salsa with you--whether you just want to learn how to dance at social events or take it even further by hitting the big stage! You too can learn, and love, salsa dancing.
