I saw this comment on a video of ours in YouTube and I liked it very much. It was a great analogy of comparing different salsa styles by a user named tommrod:
“Salsa is a language, and as a language, it can be spoken in many accents, slang terms, and varying tone as one may like.”
For some reason, it just never occurred to me that this was a perfect analogy for “understanding” different salsa styles. A lot of dancers tend to be on the “Cali Colombia Salsa is the best”, or “LA on1 is true salsa”…etc. In reality, just as the Spanish language, even though there are proper ways to speak Spanish (grammar, spelling, syntax..etc) - we do come to accept the diversity of Spanish dialects. On1, On2, Casino, Pachanga, Cali…. They are all just different dialetcs of salsa dancing, each with their own variations on accents as well. The diversity is innumerable.
