Salsa dance (LA Style)

Unverified--mainly a promotional vehicle for someone named Johnny Vazquez. See also Articles for deletion/Salsa dance (New York Style)What is NY style salsa? New York On 2 salsa is a style of salsa where the dancers take their break step on the second beat of the measure (“on 2”), as opposed to the first beat, as in On1 salsa. ... New York style salsa is known for its smooth and elegant turn patterns and footwork sequences, as opposed the flashier LA style., different yet the same. Drmies (talk) 02:55, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to Salsa (dance) all four: Salsa dance (Cali Style), Salsa dance (Cuban Style), Salsa dance (LA Style), Salsa dance (New York Style). Tag as OR there. Failed attempt at WP:SUMMARY breakouts without any refs. JJB 05:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * [Pardon my copying from the Cali style AfD:] Sure--but merge what? Where is the verified content worthy of merging? I'm not even convinced it exists as a notable, independent style--and I'm setting aside the claims of the people teaching it. Drmies (talk) 14:01, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This should convince you that it is a verifiable, recognized style:"Salsa dance is generally classified as one of six styles: ballroom, New York, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Cuban, and Los Angeles. &#91;&hellip;&#93; The Venezuelan dance style is not commodified on a global scale and hence is not generally included as one of the six principal salsa styles. The styles that have become the most prominent as a result of their widespread circulation in dance schools, in practice videos, and on websites are ballroom, New York, Cuban, and Los Angeles. &mdash;" Uncle G (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe--but that does not yet independent notability make. Thank you for the diligence. Drmies (talk) 01:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
