Rumba

The International Rumba is the slowest of the five competitive international Latin dances. The ballroom rumba was derived from Cuban dance, and its slower rhythm allows for dancers to place more emphasis on the traditional Cuban action of the hips. The rumba is intended to be a romantic, emotional dance portraying a love story between the dancers.

​

Rumba is danced in social dance clubs, ballroom dance competitions, and performances such as Dancing with the Stars. Rumba is considered to be the dance of love, making it perfect to learn for a date night, anniversary, or wedding.
