It is a derivation of the Mambo through its Latin music, and it is also a stepchild of the Swing, as it is danced to a 1-2-3 step rhythm. The Cha Cha gets its name and character from its distinct repetitive foot rhythm.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/durham\/rumba\/\">The Rumba<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Rumba was originally a courtship, marriage, and street dance that was African in origin. It met some opposition from society&#8217;s upper crust because of the suggestive body and hip movements. The characteristic feature is to take each step without initially placing the weight on that step. Steps are made with a slightly bent knee which, when straightened causes the hips to sway from side to side, in what has come to be known as Cuban Motion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c22990 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9c22990\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca1585e elementor-widget elementor-widget-ucaddon_border_btn_effect\" data-id=\"ca1585e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ucaddon_border_btn_effect.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<!-- start Border Button Effect -->\n<style>\/* widget: Border Button Effect *\/\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e\n{\n\n}\n  \n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a.ue-btn{\n  text-align: center;\n  position: relative;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  text-align:center;\n  box-sizing:border-box;\n  outline:none;\n}\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:before,\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:after{\n  position: absolute;\n  content: \"\";\n  transition: all .25s;\n}\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:before{\n  border-bottom: 3px solid #000000;\n  border-left: 3px solid #000000;\n  width: 20px;\n  height: 20px;\n  left: -10px;\n  bottom: -10px;\n}\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:after{\n  border-top: 3px solid #000000;\n  border-right: 3px solid #000000;\n  width: 20px;\n  height: 20px;\n  top: -10px;\n  right: -10px;\n}\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:hover:before{\n  width: 100%;\n  height: 100%;\n}\n\n#uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e a:hover:after{\n  width: 100%;\n  height: 100%;\n}\n\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"uc_border_btn_effect_elementor_ca1585e\" class=\"ue-btn-wrapper\">\n  <a class=\"ue-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/durham\/gift-certificates\/\" >2 Discounted Dance Lessons - Purchase Now!<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<!-- end Border Button Effect -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-761704a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"761704a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16f1e21 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"16f1e21\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6624013 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6624013\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/durham\/samba\/\">The Samba<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The Samba is a lively Brazilian dance which was first introduced in 1917 and was finally adopted as a ballroom dance by Brazilian society in 1930. It is sometimes referred to as a Samba, Carioca, a Baion or a Batucado. The difference is mainly in the tempo, since the steps in all four dances are very similar. The style is to bounce steadily and smoothly in 2\/4 meter. They say that the Samba was introduced in the United States in 1939 by the late Carmen Miranda.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/durham\/mambo\/\">The Mambo<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The spicy Mambo as we now know it grew out of the Danzon (national music of Cuba), and grasped the imagination of the American dance scene at the close of World War II. Later, fast Swing-Jazz and upbeat Latin music joined in to form the updated and uninhibited Mambo.
