&7&8 | Kick right forward, rock back on right, recover on left, step forward on right |
NOTE: | Mambo rocks
with kicks are taken from the "traditional"
style of mambo where the "kick" takes up one-half of a beat. We call these "&" counts. To make this step flow more easily, try keeping the kicks low to the floor |
