"Again, adding some dance flavor to your movements. The Mambo is a very, very popular step. Mambo can do be done on the floor where you rock forward and back, or that can be transferred to the bench. It can be done from that front approach onto the bench and onto the floor. Another variation of the Mambo is from the top where I would step up on the top, Mambo down with each foot, and exit the bench. In order to keep with 16 counts, I would have to add something to that movement. Here could be my Mambo. Mambo, exit the bench. Adding a double knee repeater in, we'll switch my lead foot and give me a 16 count combination. Again, the Mambo can really start from a basic step, move to a Mambo, move to the side, or move from the top. Again, it can be done on the floor. It's really one of those fun steps that allows you to move and pivot and add different steps to it to give it that dance flare for your step class."
