Learning to write Salsa- nese Or, how to write Salsa Figures 倡議一種 formal 的方式紀錄舞序，該方式將 Inside Turn 跟 Outside Turn 改以 Left Turn 跟 Right Turn 組成。

\begin{equation*} Left \; Turn = @^1 \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} Right \; Turn = ^1@ \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} Outside \; Turn = @^{1/2+2} \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} Inside \; Turn = ^{1/2+2}@ \end{equation*}

Ducking

Occasionally turns are executed by bending down or ‘ducking’. In this case the direction and number of turn will be written as above, but by using subscript rather than superscripts, in order to give the visual idea on bending down.

\begin{equation*} one \; right \; turn \; by \; ducking ⇒ @{_1} \end{equation*}

手的位置則透過 N 的上標跟下標表示, \(N\) 表示 normal hand position， \(C\) 表示鏡像反射的位置。

\begin{equation*} Man \; left \; hand \; up = {^*}N \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} Man \; left \; hand \; up \; and \; right \; hand \; down = {^*}N_* \end{equation*}

由於 paternet work 中，兩位 dancer 會同時做不同動作，因此建議 write the lady’s movement at the top and the man’s at the bottom. For example, a simple Hammer Lock is given by

\begin{equation*} Hammer \; Lock = \frac{@1}{^*N_*} = HL \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} Inverse \; Hammer \; Lock = \frac{@1}{_*C^*} = InvHL \end{equation*}

A double hammer lock can be write as below

\begin{equation*} \frac{@^1@_1}{^*N_*} = \frac{@1}{^*N_* \to N_* \to ^*N_*} \end{equation*}

有定義 hand drop, combs（梳頭） / hands behind the neck, 可以描述一些 styling

梳頭：

\begin{equation*} Man \; performing \; a \; comb \; with \; his \; right \; hand \; on \; the \; woman ⇒ ∃lady \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} man \; holds \; right \; to \; right \; and \; left \; to \; left “right \; on \; top” \; and \; performs \; a \; comb \; with \; the right \; on \; himself ⇒ 1C1 ∃man \end{equation*}

Break 的概念在原文中似乎稱之為 check，給出兩種範例：

\begin{equation*} check \; performed \; with \; man \; right \; hand \; by \; stopping \; the \; lady \; on \; her \; right \; shoulder ⇒ !* shoulder \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} check \; performed \; with \; man \; right \; hand \; by \; stopping \; the \; lady \; on \; her \; left \; hip ⇒ hip!* \end{equation*}

有時會 combo 會做 undo, redo 的 signal ，像是 Natural Spin Combo 的 5,6,7 接 Inside Turn，應該可用此語類法描述。

\begin{equation*} man \; puts \; his \; right \; hand \; behind \; the \; blady \; neck \; and \; removes \; it \; quickly ⇒ ∩lady undo \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} man \; puts \; his \; right \; hand \; behind \; the \; lady \; neck, does \; “something” \; and \; afterwards \; removes \; it ⇒ ∩lady .. something .. undo(∩) \end{equation*}

原文件所述是採用類似五線譜方式紀錄，沒有給出紀錄第幾拍要做的動作的 formal 語法，不方便純文字快紀。或可搭配 TMDLang ， 是類似 Markdown Languange 的標記語法建立依時序進行的事件流程表格諸如 樂隊形式級數樂譜 或 活動節目流程，只要把樂器的標記符號改成舞序的標記符號就可以了。 原本的語法已經考量音樂速度、演出者調度，語法範例如下。
