[nopostonsundays]

[Basileiha]

que feas las pataditas al aire pareces desorientada chica. centrate intentas ser espectacular pero no llegas ni a la mitad que pena

[crycrycry16]

i must have that hat

[DCSalsaOn1]

Not a good partner for him. You can see him having to muscle her through the turn patterns.

[1latinoguy]

What do you mean by being on 1 or on 2? are you speaking on when the leader begins the next turn or movement? as in 1,2,3,5,6,7? he begins the move on 1? sorry, I am new to salsa...lol

[chironimz]

He's very rarely on 1. Even though he's an LA style on1 dancer-- sorry, half the time he's on 5, the other half he's dancing on 2. He's an amazing dancer, but timing is not a high priority I guess. With NY on2 dancers, it's all about the timing and the beat. With LA style it's all about the flash and moves. If he was actually on1, then he would step with his left foot on 1. Watch it over again... he rarely is on 1.

[thomas78p]

come on dude stop being fussy, watch and enjoy , its salsa not on1 or on2 or cuban, anything is good as long as u enjoy it

[blueocea]

Did she spank him at 1:43? That was cool.

[foozieoozie]

They are dancing On1 until :45 (actually sometimes "On5", breaking on the second half of the measure rather then the first). Then they switch and dance On2 for the rest of it.

[ROSA63ROSA]

What's name of song?

please let me know.

[rashaanp]

afro cuban all stars - clasiqueando con ruben

[ROSA63ROSA]

thank you very much!

[XoJackieLuvsRonniexo]

they are so good! Best + hottest dancers are from L.A. and dance on 1 =))

[opm1s6]

that's why they're dancing on2...?

[XoJackieLuvsRonniexo]

I meant in general =p

[salsamakossa]

They are dancing on1, not on2...

[XoJackieLuvsRonniexo]

yeahh opm1s6 confused me

this is so on one!

[Stilomo]

its on2 as i see.

[edavrom]

hey para todos ustedes esta pieza esta bailada en 2...they're dancing on2 mi gente iight?

[rowthat]

L.A. Style on the 2. (They break near the second beat on a bar of music, but closer to the clave).

[salsamakossa]

Please take a good look again. This is on1. By the way, I doubt Christian dances on2... lol.

[rowthat]

I agree. The style is on one, but Christian is breaking with music on the second beat of the music. Any musician will tell you the same.
