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.
