Applying the Core Rhythm of Salsa and Mambo
6. You'll Get Started Quickly With the

7. And more...
Mike has also displayed two
ways to dance on2: Classic Mambo (2,3,4 - 6,7,8) and Modern Mambo
(1,2,3 - 5,6,7). Each shine is first broken down and then illustrated in each mambo
timing. Afterwards, they are reviewed in practice mode to the tumbao of the conga as well as with the clave
and the appropriate count for specific synchronization. There is no way that you can get
lost here and you will quickly "own" each shine step (of course this comes with
practice, as well)!
There is also a bonus salsa
track of a new production at the end of the video by Johnny Polanco y su Conjunto Amistad from their new CD entitled "Pa'l Bailador."
