4.0 out of 5 stars "On 1" style mambo, August 1, 2009

This review is from: Mambo: Dance Club Series (Paperback)

On reflection and following discussion, I think my review of the 1998 edition of this book was a too harsh. (So here I give 4 stars to try to help balance out that review.) People learning "On 2" style mambo will be disappointed. (But those learning "On 1" style would not be.) The confusing terminology is not the author's fault. I just wish mambo and salsa authors would clarify in the book title (or on the back cover notes of the book published on Amazon) whether their book teaches "On 1" style or "On 2" style.
