Dances We Love to Teach!
The Mambo
Mambo and Salsa are almost one and the same dance. Where Mambo is much more staccato and sharp, focusing on using more of the dance floor with wider steps, the Salsa is a bit more smooth flowing, and focuses more on wraps, twists, and spins in a tightly closed space. Salsa is more so danced to fast Cuban music, with a lot of horns in the background and Mambo's style of music is similar to a Swing or Jive song with a Latin style. When it comes to Latin nightclubs, you will be more likely to hear Salsa music played back to back. If you enjoy the nightlife, then this is a must learn since Salsa is one of the most popular dances in Cincinnati's nightlife today!
