Los Angeles style

Developed in recent years, this is a style of salsa much influenced by Hollywood and by the swing & mambo dances, thus being the flashiest style, which is considered "more show than dance" by some.
The two essential elements of this dance are the forward/backward basic and the cross-body lead.
