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 what we’re going to work on is on a harder turn. If you pretty much master everything I’ve shown you, you’re not considered a beginner dancer anymore. Now what I’m going to teach you is a little something more advanced; it’s called an inside turn. So what we’re going to do once again is our mambo basic. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7. So girls once again, whenever you feel the guy leading you…Which men, when she’s about to turn, push her with your right hand. You’re going to use your shoulders when you’re turning towards your left as so. You’re going to go 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7. So right on the 2 men, the girl should feel a push. A lead, so don’t over do it, but don’t lead her really gently.
