Rumba
Ballroom Rumba is a sensual dance to romantic music. It evolved from “Son” and “Danzon” which comes from Cuba. “Son” is a modified version of Cuban rumba along with other African influences. Cuban rumba is a folkloric dance performed to a fiery orchestra of drums and came to Cuba in the 16th century with the black slaves from Africa. This folk dance is a sex pantomime danced fast with exaggerated hip movements and with a sensually aggressive attitude on the part of the man who plays the part of the rooster and a defensive attitude on the part of the woman as the coquettish hen.
