Rumba is one of the core foundations of Salsa – rich in rhythm, expression, and Afro-Cuban history. You’ll explore its three traditional styles:

✨ Guaguancó
✨ Yambú
✨ Columbia

Each week features a dynamic choreography built around live percussion elements like clave, campana, conga, and chekeré – helping you feel the music in your body and move with precision, power, and authenticity.

Whether you're a Salsa dancer, musician, or simply curious, this course offers:
✅ Enhanced musicality and rhythm awareness
✅ Stronger body control and Afro-Cuban movement
✅ A deeper cultural connection to your dance
✅ Video of each choreo to practise and integrate into your dance style
