Our classes are broken down into easy to follow sections that build up to a small routine for the kids to practice.

The focus is on the kids having fun whilst learning to dance.

The Dance – Rumba

For this lesson Antony & Imogen show you some basic Rumba steps adapted for kids.

You dance Rumba on the second beat of the music. Generally you will hold the first beat once you start dancing, but we’ll have a small side step to start on the one.

We start off with an Alternative Basic. This move involves two weight changes on the spot, before a side step with a hold.

The next step we’ll look at is the New Yorks, but danced as a solo movement.

Finally we’ll add in some solo Spot Turns.

The Basic Rumba For Kids Music

The music we have chosen for our Kid’s Rumba class is Beautiful Woman by Ramin feat. Staffan Carlén:

The routine is taught in easy to follow stages that build you up to a full choreographed routine. There’s plenty of opportunities to practice the routine throughout the video.

Solo Rumba – The Dance

The Rumba is a Cuban dance and shares similarities with Cha Cha Cha, Mambo and Salsa.

You may recognise it as the sensual dance from Strictly Come Dancing but the main aim of Rumba is the contrast between quick and slow movements.

It’s danced on the second beat of the music and we’ll incorporate that at the start, using a weight transfer.

We’ll start you off with some of the basic steps, before building up to spirals and Advanced Leg Turns!

Featuring Alternative Basics, Open Basics, Rumba Walks, Cuban Rocks, Cucarachas, Open Outs/Hand-To-Hands, Solo Spirals, Grapevines and Advanced Leg Turns; there’ll be plenty to work on.

The Music

The music we’ve chosen for our Solo Rumba routine is Beautiful Woman by Ramin feat. Staffan Carlén:
