Learn to dance Rumba

The Rumba was at the beginning 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 Cha Cha in the United States.  Rumba rhythms have found their way into Country Western, Blues, Rock & Roll and other popular forms of music.

The distinctive hip movement of Rumba, called the Cuban Motion, is one of the most important elements of this dance.  Introduced in the Rumba, it is any important styling element in a number of popular Latin American dances.

Well known Rumba songs include:

And I Love Her - The Beatles
It's Now or Never - Elvis Presley
Besame Mucho - Xavier Cugat
Neon Moon - Brooks and Dunn
Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters

The Rumba will sharpen your sense of rhythm, timing and muscular control.
