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.

Ballroom

The term 'ballroom dancing' is derived from the word ball which in turn originates from the Latin word ballare which means 'to dance' (a ball-room being a large room specially designed for such dances).
