Good Opener!
This is a
Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 15696)
- Right V-step (on the bench) (4)
- Right Mambo (on bench, 360 optional) (4)
- Right V-step (on the floor for this one only) (4)
- Right V-step (up on the bench again) (4)
- Travel knees (to the left and to the right) (8)
- Mambo (on the bench, on the left side of the bench, 360 optional) (4)
- Knee (same side as you just did the mambo on) (4)
Great opener because you can teach it basic (without the 360 pivot on the mambo) or the participants who want to can add in the 360 and make the combo suddenly much more advanced. Also, so many openers start with a basic step, this is very easy but breaks that mold! I usually build the whole combo without the 360 and then add it in as an option after everyone has the rest down. By doing that one V-step on the floor, it makes it easier for people to go into it after the mambo. Please email me with any questions!
