"Hello, I am Sarolta Eke. Hello, I am Thomaska Shay. We are here on behalf of Expert Village. We are going to show you how to dance Mambo. This is the ladies step for Mambo, change of place with ladies turn. I will show you now. It's two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one. When you are practicing this alone, you should do it slowly. When you are practicing with your partner he will be able to help you with this turn. Okay, so the foot technique is the same as the change of place in Mambo for the lady, but the end of the change of place changes a little bit for the lady. I will show you right foot back, left foot in place, right foot closes to left foot. Left foot forward, right foot in place, and close left foot to right foot. Right foot back, left foot in place, close right foot to left foot. Now here comes the ladies turn. Step with left foot forward, and start to turn to the right. Almost a whole turn. Then right foot forward, and still continue to turn, a half, half a turn, and close left foot to right foot. And then you can go back with your right foot once more. And start the whole thing again. So it's right foot back, in place, close, forward, in place, close, back, in place, close. Forward and turning, forward, turn, forward, turn, close. And right foot can go back again. One, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one, two and three, four and one."
