Open Shines
Open Level
Mambo Open Shines focuses on the body mechanics and footwork patterns done without a partner. Elements of various Latin/Afro-Latin dance styles will be combined to create fun choreography sequences to help dancers develop a repertoire for personal expression.
This session of Open Shines features our signature warmup, a in-depth lesson where we will break down and drill a choreographed sequence, and a dance-thru of the pattern to music.
If you’re looking for an open-work challenge, this course is for you!
Once enrolled, enjoy unlimited access through your course library!
