*Salsa: LA style-start on count 1: Salsa &Mambo are high energy dances; (this dance is beginner level ie slower & no syncopation); ( Cuba, Columbia, Puerto Rico) “evolved” from mambo & other Afro-Carribean rhythms in1950’s;
Rumba: Start on count 1 or 2 depending on dance studio and/or region; in line dance, it’s popular to start on 1; ( Cuba, Columbia, Puerto Rico) “evolved” from mambo & other Afro-Carribean rhythms in1950’s
Mambo: Start on count 2; in line dance it usually starts on count 1; some dance studios teach to start on count 1; (Cuba) led to the Cha Cha;
