American Rhythm Style >> Mambo

Mambo grew out of the Danzon (national music of Cuba), and was popular with the American dance scene at the end of World War II. Down the line, fast Swing-Jazz and upbeat Latin music joined in to form the updated and uninhibited Mambo. The Mambo may look similar to Salsa but its break is on two, unlike the Salsa, the break is on one. Also, Mambo is a compact dance, taking smaller steps and dancing on spot.
