Ohio Star Ball - Open Professional American Rhythm 2011 - Mambo
DESCRIPTION: The Mambo dance that was invented by Perez Prado and was popular in the 1940s and 50s. Danced around the world today, the modern Mambo was altered in New York to resemble to dance we know today. Mambo is the only version of the five American Rhythm Dances danced beginning on the 2 beat as opposed to the 1 beat (excluding East Coast Swing which can start on any beat). The Mambo today can be danced to modern music or most often, Salsa music, as it has the same basic, of forward and back, differing only on what beat they start on and Cuban action.
