Hispanic couple dance of Cuban origin, part of an international program of sporting ballroom dances, different characteristic sensual, full of love movements. Muses. 4/4, the rate of 28-30 m / min. (112-120 beats / min).
The name 'Rumba' possibly comes from the term «rumboso orquestra», as in Cuba called musicians performing dance tunes. The dance originated from the Cuban habanera with Spanish roots and African rhythms brought to Cuba at the end of the XIX century. The forerunners of today's Cuban rumba were slow dancing «son» and «danzon», their versions were known in the United States in the 1930s.
In Europe, rumba appeared thanks to Pierre Lavelle, tantsshkoly teacher in London, who has developed on the basis of national (Havana) Cuban rumba dance standard. He visited Havana in 1947, and it turned out that the rumba in Cuba is done with an emphasis on the expense of "two" rather than "one", as the US. This technique, he began to teach in England, many speakers, and after much debate, in 1955, the rumba was officially recognized and standardized.
With the new version - only weight transfer to the account of "time", without actually step dance acquired his famous sensual and voluptuous. The first beat of the music rumba is the strongest, but at this point only move the hips.
