Styles of Rumba You’ll Learn
Our rumba dance classes include both American Rhythm and International Latin techniques — each with its own flavor and flair. Rumba has deep roots in Cuba and has evolved into popular styles across America, becoming a key part of Latin music and ballroom dance traditions. The word ‘rumba’ carries cultural and historical significance, reflecting its journey from African and Spanish influences to its status as a romantic and rhythmic dance. Styles such as ‘son’ have also influenced the development of rumba, blending musical and dance traditions that shaped its unique character.

American-Style Rumba
- More compact and accessible
- Slower pace ideal for social events
- Emphasizes connection and expressiveness
- Great for beginners and wedding dance prep

International Rumba
- Used in competitive Latin dance
- Sleek, technical, and elegant
- Focuses on strong hip action and body control
- Ideal for experienced dancers or those looking to train at a higher level
Not sure which is for you? Our instructors will guide you through the best fit during your intro lesson.
