What is LA-Style Salsa (Crossbody on1)?
LA-style salsa is the style of salsa dancing popularized in Los Angeles and is one of the most popular forms of salsa dancing in the world. It is danced in the slot, similar to New York-style salsa but is distinguished for being danced on1 rather than on2.
Originally, LA-style salsa had a reputation for being showy with flashy moves and big tricks, and was popularized by the Vazquez Brothers (Luiz Vazquez, Francisco Vazquez, and Johny Vazquez) who were exemplars of that style.
However, more recently, people have come to use the term “LA-style” salsa synonymously with “on1 salsa”, referring to the timing of the dance rather than a particular dance style.
