Aaron: Hey guys, it's Aaron.
Kristina: And I'm Kristina.
Aaron: And we are professional dance instructors here in New York City, and today we're going to be talking to you a little bit about a dance called the rumba. So first of all, we're going to take apart the basic action in this dance and what we're going to come up with is what we usually refer to as a box step. So what we're going to do is we're going to start with our left leg, and we're going to start with a step forward, and then we're going to take our right foot and step directly to the side, and then replace our left foot together with our right, and taking a step back on our right, and then directly to the side on our left, stepping together with the right, changing our weight, and again continuing forward on the left. And side, together, back. And side, together, forward. Side, together, back. And side, together, forward.
Now the rumba has its origins in Cuba. Now this is a Latin dance and we will see a lot of hip action across all of these Latin dances, specifically more in this rumba as you're going to see with the bending and straightening of the legs creating a sort of lateral settling of the hips, as well as somewhat of a figure eight action that begins to happen that gives us that great Cuban motion. And back, side, together, forward. And side, together, back. And side, together.
Now we're going to count this using slows and quicks. So we're going start, forward on our left with slow, and step quick quick. Slow, quick quick. Slow, quick quick. Slow, and quick quick. So now let's take a look at that with our partner. Starting in our closed position with our left to right hand hold somewhere about chin height where it's comfortable for both of us, and placing our right hand on the lady's left shoulder blade as the lady places her hand on our right shoulder close to our deltoid here. So starting again with our left foot forward and right foot back for the ladies, slow, quick quick. Slow, quick quick. Slow, quick quick. Slow, now I'm just going to demonstrate how this dance is actually going to rotate as well, counter-clockwise, to our left, quick, quick. Slow, quick quick. Slow, quick quick. Now let's try that with some music. - Jak na to + styl
it’s like the Waltz with seasoning
Lovely Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Miyyan Wenacob Bulldozer (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning the rumba and other popular ballroom dances minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 finally got excellent results with it.
Interesting way of putting it.
It should be noted in the description and also pointed out by the instructors that this is the american style rumba as international rumba has different timing, steps and technique. Chances are if you live outside the US you'll be taught international rumba, it could get confusing for someone new to Latin dance if they are taught international and then watch this
Howcast! This brings me BACK!
Nicely done........perfect sync with Latin music.......terrific teachers!
Thank you for explaining this beautiful dance simply! I teach a Let Your Yoga Dance class for seniors, many with walkers, and
we LOVE to rumba. We have re-named walkers "dance machines". You have greatly added to our joy of dance!!!
Hello Peggy, How are you doing?
Awww this post really made me smile!! I bet your class has such a blast doing this!! ❤❤
I'm here trying to prepare for my dancing class--getting way outta my comfort zone so wish me luck
I just started taking dance classes. Your tutorials are so helpful. You both are great!
This is a great review for my dance classes.
Courtney Dabne
This has helped me review and remember my rumba step!
I love this dance 💃🏻
I love this dance ❤💃
K, I followed along no problem until you said to hold hands at chin height. I have a couple of chins, which one do I use?
Very Insightful and well done!!
Nice and easy too follow.
Thanks for the great lesson! I’m rumba-Ing all over my living room!
lol
THANKS FOR SHARING
Thanks!!!!
Ima be pulling out all the rizz with these moves
I learned to Rumba when I was about 15 years old, My sisters girl friend taught me, she did most of the work, We did the box step but she did a lot of dancing around me also lots of hip movement.
life changers i tell you... life changers
Woww
Is there a mirrored version of this somewhere? The Left/Right part is really messing me up.
Me gusta mas como para un carnaval o para bailar rumba 😅
What was the music that you used?
Someone please, what's the title of the song in the beginning and at the end?
Yeah. Or a spicy fast waltz.
3:02
For women, we do all the beginning instructions backwards?
Essentially, yes. Since the men go forward, then backward, the women, by definition, have to backward, then forward.
I appreciate this video but I wish, while you continued to do the footwork, you would have kept the full body view. Thank you.
name of the song pls
Another angle would be appreciated.
Back towards the camera guys !!
I watched this because I am going to the finals I do dance lessons in Florida
Pedro Matias good luck!
The music seems more Brazilian then... Cuban .
So the dance is Rumba, but the music is Samba?
I understand now. The difference between Rumba and Waltz is the difference between enchilada sauce and marinara, respectively.
bruh i have to do this as a dance assignment in class like did i ask bruh pray for me pls
❤❤❤

Comment for algo.
Moved too quickly off the step sequence, which would have been easier to follow if had been shown from the rear.
This would be helpful to me if you dance with your backs to the camera. Otherwise, there is right left confusion. I used to teach aerobics classes, and me turning around, so my students could follow me exactly without making the translation of, their right is my left. Please consider re-recording this video as I suggested! Your students will thank you!
Addendum: Or you could demonstrate sideways! That works also! I see another pair of instructors doing just this! So I will learn better from them. Otherwise, your video is very well done! Thanks for listening ... and ... KEEP DANCING!
It would be more helpful if you can show steps with your back to the camera.
Tal fishmans older brother
I Don't Know Who Taught This Person, But He Starts With The Arthurer Murry Step, And Continues The Rest Of The Dance With The Fred Astire Syllibus.
Why his neck longer than my attention span
This man is meant to dance
Seems like if we learn one Latin dance we can dance all the Latin dances.
I hope that's the case.
No doubt you both are very smooth BUT you should be "mirroring" your movements to the audience. By that I mean, your right would be your audiences left. By that explaining the movements without indicating right-left UNLESS you are mirroring your movements. Traditional dance instructors do this.
his neck though
Appreciate Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Miyyan Wenacob Bulldozer (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for learning the rumba and other popular ballroom dances minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got cool results with it.
Szs anyone?
that is wrong. the SLOW starts on 4th , not 1st beat !!!
Nejc Panič Nope, thats just in Cha Cha, Rumba is on the 1st :)
you are correct
Ya'll have never published any helpful video, so just be thankful and appreciate someone's helpful action...
Should really say that the Rumba originated within the Afro-Cuban slave community.
It is ugly yuck
This is a horrible tutorial
