Salsa On2 Men’s Style

SALSA ON2 MEN’S STYLE — 4-WEEK COURSE

Masculine Body Movement • Foundation • Shines • Styling

Led by Eder Avila, this progressive 4-week course is designed to help dancers develop stronger masculine body movement, Salsa On2 fundamentals, coordination, styling, presence, and overall quality of movement.

Rather than simply learning more steps, this course focuses on improving how you move. Students will work on grounding, weight transfers, posture, body mechanics, isolations, arm placement, footwork, and the connection between the upper and lower body. The goal is to build a stronger foundation that allows your individual style to look intentional, controlled, and natural.

ABOUT EDER AVILA

Originally from Trujillo, Peru, Eder began his formal salsa training in 2008 and has spent nearly two decades developing his craft as a dancer, instructor, choreographer, competitor, and director. He founded On2ourage Dance Company in 2015, where he has dedicated more than a decade to developing dancers and performers within the Southern California Salsa On2 community. Eder continues to be featured as a Salsa On2 instructor and artist at dance festivals and congresses.

Among his competitive accomplishments, Eder became a 2022 Same Gender Euroson Latino World Champion alongside Milton Martinez—an achievement that reflects years of work in Salsa On2 technique, performance, musicality, and masculine movement.

In 2026, Eder was selected as a dancer for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, bringing his salsa background to one of the world’s largest entertainment stages.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

Throughout the four weeks, expect training in:

• Masculine Body Movement — learning to move with intention without sacrificing natural movement
• Foundation & Grounding — improving weight transfer, balance, posture, and use of the floor
• Body Mechanics — developing coordination through the torso, shoulders, rib cage, hips, and lower body
• Masculine Styling — exploring arm placement, lines, texture, and movement choices
• Shines & Footwork — improving the quality and clarity of your Salsa On2 fundamentals
• Musicality — connecting movement choices to different instruments, rhythms, and dynamics
• Presence & Confidence — developing a stronger individual identity on the dance floor

This course isn’t about forcing yourself into one particular way of dancing. It’s about giving you the technical tools, mechanics, foundation, and movement vocabulary necessary to develop a masculine style that feels authentic to you.

Build your foundation. Understand your body. Develop your style.
