Don't be ashamed of yourself if you can't learn Hambo. Hambo is, from a mechanical point of view, the world's most difficult couples' dance. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, with typical ballroom being a 2 or 3, competitive ballroom a 4, Argentine tango a 5, Hambo rates an 8. You are either born with the skills to do it or not. If you need a challenging social dance to prove your prowess, do what I and all other like myself, who were born without the skills for Hambo, do: take up Argentine tango. There is no end to the learning process: you have to learn more material, and at the same time more discipline and control, than for any other social dance form. Yet it is, unquestionably, the most fascinating of all dances. Once you are bitten by the Argentine tango bug, you will never recover. I personally guarantee it!! (Footnote: Salty Dog Rag, at least in its authentic version, rates a 6 or 7 on the difficulty scale!!)
