Bronze American Rumba | Rhythm

Welcome to Bronze International Rumba! All the steps we cover are built off of our earlier lesson in Newcomer American Rumba. If you’re not quite comfortable with those steps, take a minute to review!

We’ll be reviewing both dances at 8:30PM on Thursday night! Join the Zoom review here and check your emails for more information about Sunday Technique classes!

Make sure to review before Technique! The goal for these classes is to cover details that are not easily covered in videos!

Let’s DancE!

Thank you to our coach Dana and Karen Martin for filming this week’s routine videos! Notice that the routine ends with the Newcomer routine.

The Moves

Fifth Position Walks

All the steps we cover here are strongly connected, so practice the steps that connect moves together.

Dancing is what you do between the steps!
