Rumba Columbia<\/h3>\n

Rumba Columbia is an energetic and rhythmically challenging Cuban dance style originating from the Matanzas region of Cuba. Traditionally performed as a men’s solo dance, it is now danced by people of all genders. The dance is characterized by fast footwork, improvisation, and a dynamic dialogue between the dancer and the drum rhythms\u2014especially the quinto drum.<\/p>\n

In this workshop, you’ll explore the fundamentals of Rumba Columbia, including its basic technique, movement dynamics, body movement, and the way dancers interpret the music and develop their own expression. We’ll practise rhythms, movements, and the dance’s powerful, playful energy in a safe and encouraging atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Rumba Guaguanc\u00f3<\/h3>\n

Cuban rumba is a traditional music and dance style and cultural form that originated in Cuba in the 19th century among the descendants of African slaves and the lower white social class. Rumba Guaguanc\u00f3 is one of the three main styles of Cuban Rumba (Yambu, Guaguanc\u00f3, and Columbia). It combines sexual tension, rhythmic intelligence, and Afro-Cuban identity. It is a flirtatious and playful dance that also includes a symbolic “approach” between partners, known as vacunao (vaccination).<\/p>\n

Couple Salsa con Rumba<\/h3>\n

The Couple Salsa with Rumba class combines Cuban rumba with partner salsa, teaching you how to incorporate rumba into partner dancing. Guaguanc\u00f3, the best-known and most popular style of Cuban rumba, is a flirtatious and playful partner dance featuring the symbolic vacunao (“vaccination”)\u2014a playful gesture representing an attempt to approach or seduce one’s partner.<\/p>\n
