"This is called Mambo from the top. We did Mambo from the top off the front. This is just going to be just Mambo from the top and it's going to involve 2 half turns. I want to break it down. Start with just the basic step. Then I'm going to stay up on the basic and I'm actually going to Mambo down right foot and left foot, and then I'm going to add a double repeater in there to keep me on my 16 count. Let me do that again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, double knee. Now I'm going to add the turn. I'm going to come up, Mambo down, so I've gone halfway around. Up, Mambo down, go halfway, and then come all the way around for the double knee. Watch it on the left. Do it slow, up, Mambo down, Mambo down, full, turn, double knee. A little faster. Up, Mambo, Mambo, around, double knee, and up Mambo down, Mambo down, all the way around, and the double knee. If you don't like all the turns, up, Mambo down, Mambo down, and a double knee will put you exactly where you need to be in this combination. "
