the dance of love, the Rumba is a romantic dance style that allows your personality to shine through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The slowest of the Latin dance styles, the Rumba is a great starting point for learning Latin dances. With slow steps and hip movements, this Afro-Cuban dance is a perfect fit for a wide range of skill levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h1>History<\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The roots of the Rumba can be traced back to the 19th century, when the dance rhythms and traditions of enslaved Africans in Cuba merged with Spanish music to create a powerful, passionate new dance style. In modern times, Rumba has become a cultural symbol of Cuba and has spread across the world!<\/span><\/p><h1>Storytelling<\/h1><p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rumba is well-suited to a variety of music \u2013 just about any song with a slow, 4\/4 beat is great for the Rumba!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To really express your personality and creativity with this dance style, choose your favorite love ballad and pair your moves with the lyrics! The Rumba is even more captivating when the dancers are telling a story that highlights the dance\u2019s unique character, history, and emotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h1>Ready to Rumba?\u00a0<\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sign up for a Fred Astaire Boise Rumba class this month!
