And in salsa you always step forward with your left foot on the 1 count and backward with your right foot on the 5 count.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation_%28dance%29

The word "syncopation" is often used by dance teachers to mean improvised or rehearsed execution of step patterns that have more rhythmical nuances than "standard" step patterns. It takes advanced dancing skill to dance syncopations in this sense. Advanced dancing of West Coast Swing makes heavy use of "syncopation" in this sense (although swing music and swing dances feature the "usual" syncopation, i.e., emphacising the even beats).
