Here you can learn more about its history and about the man who learned this dance in Cuba and adapted and cultivated it for Europe.
In no other Latin American dance has the African soul a stronger presence than in the Rumba. It originated in its present form in the poor districts of Havana and Matanaza shortly before slavery was abolished in Cuba around 1880.
Its beginnings, however, go much further back, to the 16th Century, to the arrival of the first slaves from Africa.
InStep Dance Studio principals Chris & Anne Leitch have been dancing since their early teens. With over 40 years of teaching experience they have taught thousands of people the pleasurable art of ballroom dancing.
Their approach to teaching is first and foremost to have fun. Even if you have two left feet and no sense of rhythm, their teaching method will have you feeling comfortable from the very first lesson.
Lessons and classes are available for Beginners, Improvers, Wedding Couples, Medallists, and Competitors.
