Trini said: "I suppose you could skip the "1" but that's never made
sense to me. "  

Why not? For example, dont you do that whenever you choose to dance a
piece on the weak beat ? 

Also, here is an example from Gustavo, skpping the one and dancing
syncopa on the 23 alone:

from  :43 to :49, he alternates, he is dancing on the 23, then the 3,,
then the 23 again. then the 3. The "3" here is what I call the weak
beat.
