Hola Everyone, This message is actually for Mike Osborne . I see that you and your wife are professional ball room dancers who are transitioning to mambo thru Mambolab . I met and befriended a professional ball room dance couple over 20 + years ago at the Puerto Rico World Salsa Congress held at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan. . They are Tony and Melanie ball room dance champions who also loved salsa ( I hope I got their names right , long time ) We met again at several more congresses in New York and Puerto Rico. They eventually retired from competition and opened their own dance studio iin New York , right in Times Square , teaching salsa & ball room . They are an inspiration to others making the transition to salsa / mambo ! Take care and keep on dancing !

Hi everyone. I have been focusing my dance practice on those videos that include some afro mambo fusion. The November 18 , 2025 core lab intermediate foot work class caught my attention for various reasons. In this class Elian teaches a lot of pachanga , cha,, cha, cha and cumbia moves that include some afro .I have been trying to learn pachanga for sme time now . Elian and. Ashley are very enthusiastic, motivated and tireless ( incansable ) . They provide a lot of upper body coordination with the foot work. Ashley makes sure they are including some afro body movement such as shoulder rolls , shaking , and shimmying. She compliments the sstudens who put more effort into the afro body moves . In the Special Workshops area July 3 Body Movement Workshop, Ashley teaches some very useful exercises and drills from Afrocuban folklore and popular dance . I practice these moves constantly that involve body isolation , speed and timing variation of the torso and foot work.. I especially like the body undulations and body waves ..I call it serpentine movement ( snake movement ) I like the music she uses ; Masacote- Jose Manguaal Buya and muisic by Alexander Abreu . I hope to level up to level 3 and unlock the Playlist so that I practice with the actual music used in the classes.

Your opinion matters ✨ We’re building the next round of classes for MamboLab Online, and we’d love your input. 💃🕺 What styles, topics, or levels do you want us to add? Let us know below! 👇

Some of the newer mambo dancers may be suffering from the disease called CHTB ; Can' t hear the Beat .I advise them to dance and listen to as much mambo music as possible
