Rumba
The Rumba mostly evolved in Cuba in the 16th century. Versions of this dance were to be seen on other Caribbean islands and in Latin America generally. In the late 1920′s, such band leaders as Xavier Cugat introduced the Rumba in the United States. In the 1930′s this dance became popular in London. The Rumba is built around the famous “Cuban Box,” and features “Cuban Motion.”
