LESSONS 6-8PM
Rumba: 6-7pm
Rumba/Salsa Fusion: 7-8pm
Instructors, Sam Mahfoud & Carol Rivera
Swing Time is teaming up with Salsa Rivera to bring you this month's dance lessons! Learn the basics of street-style Rumba and ballroom-style Rumba in the 6-7pm dance lesson. Rumba is one of the most useful partner dances for American popular music. A matter of fact, if you hear a great song and you're not swing dancing to it, odds are it would make a good Rumba! Rumba's underlying rhythm is "Slow-Quick-Quick". Salsa's is "Quick-Quick-Slow". So what's to keep you from incorporating your entire Salsa repertoire into your Rumba? Nothing at all! We'll show you how it's done in the 7-8pm lesson.
