Frequently Asked Questions
Mambo is approachable for beginners, with its clear 4/4 rhythm and compact steps like the forward-and-back basic. With our expert instructors breaking down each move, you’ll find mambo lessons engaging and achievable, even if you’ve never danced before.
Mambo’s basic steps include a quick-quick-slow rhythm, with a forward-and-back motion and subtle hip movements. Our lessons focus on teaching these steps, along with turns and partner connection, to help you dance with style and control.
While mambo shares roots with salsa and cha cha, it’s distinct for its faster tempo and compact footwork. Unlike salsa’s side-to-side motion or cha cha’s triple steps, mambo emphasizes a forward-back pattern with a syncopated beat. Our Durham studio teaches these nuances, helping you master mambo’s unique flair.
Wear comfortable clothing and smooth-soled shoes for easy movement. Bring a water bottle and a notebook or your phone to jot down tips—no special equipment needed, just your enthusiasm!
