Cuban rumba is an important part of the rich blend that is Cuban salsa. There are three different styles of rumba: guaguancó, yambú, and columbia.
With this course we dive deeper into different styles of cuban rumba, rhythm and to the playful interaction that is rumba. We look into practical ways how to connect rumba to your salsa dancing.
During the course we practice technique of rumba, rythmics and expression and how we can connect our rumba naturally to the context of salsa. We aim to ground ourselves during the dance in a playful kind of way – that is typical for Cuban dances.
Course is fitting for dancers that already are comfortable with the basis of salsa and who want to dive deeper into cultural heritage of rumba.
