MAMBO ROCKS WITH KICKS

	Step back on left
&3&4	Kick right forward, rock back on right, recover on left foot,
	step forward on right
&5&6	Kick left forward, rock forward on left, recover on right foot,
	step back on left
&7&8	Kick right forward, rock back on right,
	recover on left, step forward on right
	NOTE: Mambo rocks with kicks are taken from the "traditional"
	style of mambo where the "kick" takes up one-half of a beat.
	We call these "&" counts. To make this step flow more easily,
	try keeping the kicks low to the floor

CROSS- STEPS, SWIVELS, HEELS-OUT

9-10	Cross step left over right,
	step right beside left turning body on a 45 degree
	angle left (heels turned to right)
11&12	Slide heels to left, slide heels right,
	slide heels to left tapping right heel out (weight. On left)
13-14	Cross step right over left,
	step left beside right turning body on a 45 degree
	angle right (heels turned to left)
15&16	Slide heels to right, slide heels left,
	slide heels right tapping left heel out (weight. On right)
	NOTE: The angle steps that are described above add a bit of
	a "matador effect". Raise up slightly on the balls of the
	feet with body centered. Bend knees slightly while swiveling heels

FOUR 1/4 TURNS RIGHT

17-18	Step forward on left, pivot 1/4 to right

	put a little "Elvis" influence in there by bringing the right
	knee in, then the left knee in.
