Learning the Steps and Choreography

Rumba is a beautiful and romantic dance style, also known as the “Latin Dance of Love.” And you can dance this style to a variety of songs. Feel free to use our playlist to practice. As always, we encourage you to be creative with the moves that you’ve learned. You can mix and match the steps and create a dance pattern that both you and your partner enjoy. Have fun dancing!
