That's no mambo please ,look for PEREZ PRADO videos and you'll see real mambo dancers

Ballroom Mambo count is 2-3-4, 6-7-8. New York On2 (some call it Mambo) is 1-2-3, 5-6-7 with the breaks on the 2 and 6. This dance is neither. The count is all wrong and they dance completely off-time.

Please don't regard this as an accurate source - it is NOT!

Budapest... :))

[MrKrissdekaliss]

No. No-no-no-no-no. That's not mambo at all! Or even salsa. Sorry but... everything is wrong with this 'lesson'. Even the music!

Everyone is an expert and everyone is a critic! I'm just looking to dance and she gives me a way to do it. She does it for free. What the hell do you people want to tear her down for? Thank you love, for taking the time to teach us. Mucho appreciated.

Thanks very much. We are absolute beginners so this was extremely helpful. We may or may not go for dance classes now (probably not as we're a bit lazy!) but at least now we don't have to remain in our seats for fear of embarrassment.

I agree and disagree.. you are right about the count on NY Style + Ballroom Mambo and thier timing being off but, this two -even with the weird 2 + 3, 4 +1 count - is Mambo as long as they break is on 2 + 6. Regardless of what name one give it A, B, C.. 1, 2, 3... hA, hA, hA. 2, +, 3.... 2, 3, 4., etc as long as the break is on 2nd + 6th beat off the count in the music, you're "basically" dancing mambo. This however is as basic as basic can be therefore not to time conserned.

[Tuffiefly]

please keep in mind that this is the basic basic steps for the mambo, I just started with dance classes in South Africa and I've been for two, and we've covered all this. Obviously it won't look like Perez Prado, because this is BASIC! To all those who are complaining, feel free to add links of you demonstrating the mambo so we can see you do it better.

That's no mambo!!!!!

[claudiapubli]

que es esto porfavor bailan HORRIBLE, parecen maquinas, no arruinen el mambo

[MamboStephen]

For a start I can't imagine ever wanting to dance Mambo to that music!

01:53 "...and we can start the whole thing again" - don't bother!

If this my first and only impression of Mambo, I wouldn't have dreamed of getting into it...
