The Rumba

Rumba Dance Lessons

Learning the Rumba is a prerequisite for becoming proficient at Latin Dancing. The Cuban Motion is essential in most Latin dances. The Rumba is used by excellent dancers everywhere and provides interesting variety in a limited space. The attractive, precise footwork in Rumba can help boost a beginner dancer’s confidence.

History

The Rumba was at the forefront of the Cuban and Latin American dance crazes. Danced to music inspired by African rhythms and Spanish melodies, the Americanized Rumba was the basis for the Mambo and the Cha Cha. In the U.S., Rumba rhythms have found their way into Country Western, Blues, Rock & Roll and other popular forms of music
