Mambo Dancing Open Breaks & Open Turns

On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Susan and this is Alex. This is Salsa Mia at Yuka Lounge on South Beach in Miami, Florida. We’re here today to teach you mambo. Alright, so now we’re going to work on an open break and an open turn. So what we’re going to do is go to our basic, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, cross body lead, okay. So once again, when you dance mambo you’re supposed to stay on the line. I may lead to this angle so you’ll be able to see the way the Suzy ends and I’m going to finish on the line. 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7. Now men, what you have to do as soon as you go into cross body lead, when you get here you need to have resistance. So as you go back with the left, make sure that both of you have this. This is what takes the lead.
