One glaring inaccuracy that warrants mention: Eddie Torres was not by ANY means the first to teach salsa "on 2" - not even close. People were dancing mambo on 2 in NYC since probably the 40s, and Cubans in CUBA (the true birthplace of salsa) were dancing on 2 LONG even before that. The cha cha has ALWAYS been danced on 2 in Cuba! Second, in no way shape or form does dancing on 2 increase the "level of sophistication." Not at all. It's just a different beat to break on - nothing more. Otherwise, the article is pretty accurate. Interesting article.
