We're excited to announce new instuctors in town Ellwood & Angeliki (pictured) will be bringing the New York On2 style (popularised by Eddie Torres, now a cult icon) to Leeds on a weekly basis.
For those not familiar with on2 and how it differs from the Salsa on1, well, a very over-simplified explanation is that you start in a different direction (backwards rather than forwards as the leader) and there is more heavy emphasis on counts 2 and 6 which can give the dance a different feel. Be assured you will get much more detailed explanations in the actual classes :)
Angeliki & Ellwood are excellent and very knowledgeable dancers who have been on the scene for a long time, you will learn a lot from them.
