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 an outside turn for the men. The same way we did the girls, we could do it ourselves gentlemen. So we’re going to go from our basic, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, one more time, 2, 3, 6, 7, side walk, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7. Now men, the trick about this is that whenever you’re doing the side walk, do not finish the turn completely. Try to finish here and right when you’re about to step forward on 6th, twist your body. 6, 7. It’ll look better than just going here. You want to look smooth every time you’re rotating. Girls, same thing if you’re doing the inside turn. 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7.
