7. In the 1940’s Americans became fascinated by Latin
American rhythms. The original Mambo music, El
Guardia, had its beginning in 1944 as a Rumba with
a riff improvisation. The Mambo combined
American Jazz with the Afro-Cuban beat. Arthur
Murray Studios became famous for turning out
some of the best Mambo dancers of the era.

9. The components of Mambo are rock steps and
side steps and foot styling includes points, kicks or
flicks. The Latin hip movement in Mambo is an
important aspect of the dance.

13. There are two schools of thought as to how this
captivating dance began. One says it started as a
peasant dance in the Dominican Republic by
African slaves. Another says a returning war hero,
a General Marengue, danced dragging an injured
leg.

15. Walking steps and side steps (chasse) are the basic
components of Merengue. This dance is
introduced as a marching dance but can be
developed into a very rhythmical dance. With
“Cuban Motion” and animated body movement,
the Merengue gives a festive party appeal.
