Cuban-style salsa Is "On One". An essential element is the "cuba step" (also known as Guapea), where the leader does a backward basic on 1-2-3 and a forward basic on 5-6-7. The follower does the same, thereby mirroring the leader's movement. Another characteristic of this style is that in many patterns the leader and follower circle around each other. The cross body lead is an essential step in this Salsa Style too and is referred to as Dile que no. The LA style is a later derivative of this, the difference again being that the dancers rotate a quarter turn around one another in the process. This move also becomes essential in the more complex derivative of Cuban Casino leading to the many moves of Rueda, or wheel dance. Here multiple couples exchange partners and carry out moves synchronised by a caller. |
