If either of you are being serious, which I doubt, then here's my reply.

Since I did not put a smiley face at the end of my post I can not see how you can tell one way or another.

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!

I view???? Man! The question was 'What is?' not 'Speculate as to how you think the colombian dance salsa'

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.

Wrong again my man. Most dancers in New York as any where else in the world dance on 1(3,5,7 or whatever). It is the On 2 fraternity that is a minority. ANd they do not necessarily stick to the 'crossbody/slot dancing' either. A significant amount do the so called 'Cuban Style'. But hey do not just take my word for it.

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.

In view of my previous answers you might want to think this one over.

I'm out!
