Course Details

This dance came to the United States from Cuba in the 1920s and became a popular cabaret dance during Prohibition.

Rumba is a ballroom adaptation of Son Cubano and Bolero (the Cuban genre) and, despite its name, it rarely included elements of Cuban Rumba.

It does include Cuban motions through knee-strengthening, figure-eight hip rotation, and swiveling foot action.

An important characteristic of Rumba is the powerful and direct lead achieved through the ball of the foot.
