21st Century Salsa ~ At NY's Choice Music-Dance Nights
The Dance team "Salsa Siglo 21" (a.k.a. 21st Century Salsa) is making the rounds in New York.
21st Century Salsa, a unique ensemble made-up of a both young and old dancers of diverse cultural and racial backgrounds,
has been seen on the dance floors of New York's Salsa circuit. They dance Rueda de Casino (al estilo cubano),
Los Angeles-style, Puerto Rican-style (both "jibarito" and "en Clave" styles), as well as New York's On-2 and Off-2 styles.
They can dance to the pulse (accentuating the 1 & 3 beats that drive the melody and harmony in the music ) or to the syncopated
rhythms in the music (the African component).
They roll together, but once inside the club they mix it up with the crowd and dance with everybody.
It is a pleasure to watch this eclectic group of people "do-it" to the Salsa beat.
They don't show-off; they dance as if no one were watching - even though its hard to keep your eyes off of them when
they are on the dance floor because of the sheer joy on their faces. Actually it would be hard to tell they are a group if it
weren't for the subtle costumes, (insignia guayaberas or 21st Century Salsa tee shirts). They don't stop the other social dancers
with any preordained flashy dance studio choreography or routines. They are just "in-to" Salsa for the fun of it; and it shows.

Salsa Dancing is like making Love
Salsa dancing is like making Love; If you are not on the Woman’s rhythm -
Nobody is really having Fun. Salsa dance has many interpretations or "styles"
and can be danced accentuating different beats in the music. If you dance accentuating the
first beat the musical bar it is often called dancing on-1. The same goes if you dance accentuating
the second beat; it is called dancing on-2. Often the best dancers dance to the "Clave" beat.
The Clave is a five note rhythmic pattern of African origin, which is vital to
Salsa music.
