Ballroom - Rumba
Class Details
American Rhythm Cha Cha is a lively ballroom dance known for its playful energy, syncopated rhythm, and sharp, expressive movement. This all-level 4-week series is a great fit for dancers who want to build strong fundamentals while enjoying a dance that is both fun and full of personality. Over the course of the series, dancers will work on timing, footwork, partner connection, and basic turns while learning how to dance with clarity, rhythm, and confidence. Beginners will gain a strong introduction to the dance, while returning dancers can continue refining technique, musicality, and movement quality. Week 1 Rumba Box, Side Breaks, and Underarm Turn options Week 2 Cross Over Breaks, 5th Position Breaks, and Spot Turns Week 3 Cross Body Lead, Shoulder Checks, Sweetheart, and Cradle Week 4 Cucarachas and Open Cuban Walks NOTE: Progressive courses gradually layer new concepts each week and provide time to review and build muscle memory. It’s an effective way to improve as a dancer while becoming more confident, connected, and comfortable in social dancing.
