Ballroom Dance Tip #3

-Rumba-

The Rumba is one of the International Latin dances and is of Afro-Cuban descent.  Rumba is the slowest of the five in this category.

Music:  The music comes from a Cuban rhythm and dance called the bolero-son.  The international ballroom version comes from studies done prior to the Cuban Revolution.

Dance:  Here's a good showing of the basic steps for both the men and the ladies.  Be sure to practice.

As stated, the box step is one of the most common and popular styles for these ballroom dances.  You will see these similar steps again later.
