Rumba is a Cuban folkloric dance with strong African roots and elements of Spanish influence. It is presented in different variations either as a couple or solo.  Study the Complejo de Rumba –  Yambú, Guaguancó and Columbia (+Jiribilla) for performance, dancer development, or to bring elements of Rumba into social dance forms to enrich footwork, body movement and responsiveness.

During this intensive you’ll study the three variations of Rumba with their musical differences and individual peculiarities while developing improvisational skills that go hand in hand with spontaneous dances like Rumba.

With the standard program, we will meet you at the airport, get you set up with a local mobile phone, help you change money, and get you checked in and set up for your stay.  You’ll start training the first day and then later that night meet your instructor or host at one of the main concert venues to soak in the sounds and rhythms of Cuba. 

Training days include 3-6 hours of training and time held for individual activities providing you with a full schedule of 6-8 hours a day that allows you plenty of time to experience Cuba and its culture.

We offer programs as Basic, Standard, or Classic.  Standard is what we recommend to most people.  It allows you to travel with confidence knowing you have support, connects you with local hosts, includes a standard travel package and certificate of legal travel to Cuba.   Classic is for those who want to add more and plan less.   Basic includes the program only with no travel support, certification, or travel package.  It is reserved for experienced Cuba travelers.
