Description: Although the rumba appears in both Latin American and American styles, there is a great variation between the two styles, in fact, the rumba seems to be almost an entirely different dance between the versions. Not only is the timing different, but also the tempo of the music used and the trademark hip actions between the two styles is noticeably different. In the International rumba, the hip action is marked by landing on a straight leg and then gently swinging the hip over it. The character of the International rumba is one of sensuality and romance. The movements is typified with beautiful lines and an emphasis on the rhythmic hip action. |
