what saucy latin dance has a pattern of 6 steps danced over 8 counts of music?

Answer 1

im guessing salsa

Answer 2

How are you counting steps??

For example, in Rumba, the timing is, SLOW - QUICK - QUICK where slow is 2 beats, and quick is 1 beat each - which is 4 beats total per measure. Then to form a box step, you do two measures, so 8 counts/beats each.

Boleros are danced to the same rhythm, but steps are different.

Salsa and Mambos are danced similarly with timing being slightly offset from each other.... 3 beats with one hold which will make it 4 and two set to complete the "box"

Cha-cha has synchopated rhythm so it won't be 4 steps...

Is this what you are looking for?
