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 do is we’re going to combine the 2 previous steps, the inside turn for the ladies and the men. Now men, as always, the girls go first. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to go into mambo basic. 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, ladies, 6, 7, men, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 2, 3, 6, 7. Men, that’s the only that you need to remember. You need to make sure that the girl always goes first. As soon as you’re done, men, with her turn, do not stay here and go like this. You have to pick her up and then release her. So, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7. See how I have her here. So what I’m going to do here is push her and then I turn myself, so make sure you always do that. One more time. 6, 7, 2, 3, pick her up, and then release.
