What Is LA Style Salsa?
LA style salsa was started by Vazquez brothers in Los Angeles, California. LA-style salsa is characterized by ladies' (and men's) beautiful spins, dancing in a slot, as well as flash dips, and tricks for competitive style of dancing. In this style, the leader dances on 1 (which means man steps forward on 1), and is the preferred salsa style in most of the U.S. except in New York and surrounding areas.
