Why Salsa on 2?

Salsa on 2, commonly known as New York style, breaks on beats 2 and 6. This gives dancers a smoother, more musical connection—especially during turns—and aligns beautifully with conga, bass, and clave rhythms :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

In contrast, Salsa on 1 (LA style) breaks on beats 1 and 5, syncing with the melody and cowbell, creating a sharper, more staccato feel :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
