The three-group organisation makes this Mambo programme easy to navigate. The opening group covers Forward & Back Basic, Side Breaks, Side Breaks & Cross, Cross Body Lead and Open Break Underarm Turn, followed by a demonstration of those five figures.
Further groups introduce crossover breaks, a shoulder check, promenade swivel movement, alternating underarm turns and Rueda Basic before progressing to additional cross-body, spot-turn and pullback material. Demonstrations appear after figures 6–10 and 11–15 as well, allowing students to see a group of figures together after studying its individual movements. Ron and Karla Montez feature in this approximately 90-minute recording, produced in 2000.
Cross Body Lead appears first as an opening figure and later as Cross Body Lead With Inside Turn, giving the repertoire a specific connection across the groups. Open Break Underarm Turn and Alternating Underarm Turns likewise identify different turn subjects, while Back Spot Turn and Forward Spot Turn to Surprise belong to the final group. Each group ends with a demonstration, making the three sections convenient stopping points for practice. This is a Bronze figure collection in American Rhythm Mambo, with fifteen named figures and three grouped demonstrations. Students can use the group boundaries to organise review of a smaller selection before watching its demonstration, or follow the complete figure sequence.
