BEGIN QUOTE  More importantly, what is "columbian" style Salsa? Is that from Columbia in South Carolina, Maryland or Missouri? This must be some very specific form of US Salsa that only the UKA know about!! dG  END QUOTE  If either of you are being serious, which I doubt, then here's my reply. I view columbian salsa as a cut-down, speeded up version of cuban salsa - I've not met any columbians so I cannot confirm this. I'm also a terrible speller sometimes - I mean colombia! Some dancers in New York dance on1. They are in the minority, yes, but the ones that do dance on1 will stick to crossbody/slot dancing with lots of shines. LA salsa is the same as new york salsa (on1) except it's a lot more punchy. Expect even more shines, and a few lifts, dips, tricks, and running up walls in some cases! Francisco Vasquez is the best example of a LA style dancer. Graeme
