RUMBA

The Rumba was originally a courtship, marriage, and street dance that was African in origin. The Rumba met some opposition from societys 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.
